2022 Gillmore Aglianico del Maule

92 points, Vinous:

"The 2022 Aglianico del Maule also comes from Loncomilla. Floral and fruit-forward, it delivers sour cherry, pomegranate and blood orange on the nose. Lean and flavorful on the palate, with fine tannins and a compact structure, this finishes with delicate fruit and a sense of place."

Danielle Gillmore works with her father Francisco and husband Andres Sanchez to make some of Chile’s most exciting wines. Located in the Loncomilla Valley, they took century-old Pais vines and grafted over to a selection of Italian varietals, including this Aglianico. Fermented in steel and aged in barrel for 18 months, this is an absolutely, delicious red redolent of boysenberries and sour cherries. Medium-bodied, with lush tannins, this is an approachable, young wine. Try with Carne Asada or braised beef stews.
