Listan Prieto (Criolla Chica, Mission, Pais, Palomino Negra; Rosa del Peru; Negra Corriente Tacna, Negra Corriente Majes; Negra Corriente ICA) WIDESPREAD red

When handled expertly, the wine can be a beautifully floral, crunchy, refreshing light red wine with even the potential for a little aging. With wispy tannins, good acidity, and naturally low alcohol, País fits perfectly in the current wine zeitgeist. With more boutique producers in both the northern and southern hemispheres beginning to discover and rehabilitate old vine plantings (as well as encouraging new plantings) it seems like País may finally have the chance to gain a modicum the respect, if not reverence, that it once commanded.
