ASIAN FOOD PAIRING
In 1877, the Italian family Queirolo emigrated to Peru. The third generation setup Intipalka, and planted noble French varietals to create high end Peruvian wines.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay from the Valle de Ica in Pero. The vineyards are planted on deep loam soil at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level. Being one of the driest places on the planet, with less than 20 mm of rain per year and more than 300 sunny days, the vineyards are drip irrigated and the grapes are harvested and selected by hand at the optimum point of ripeness
Taste Profile: Fresh tropical fruit aromas. On the palate it is fresh, lean and mineral driven. A medium-bodied wine with bright natural acidity, a fruit-driven mid-palate and a long, lingering finish that is slightly bitter
Winemaking Process: The fruit is destemmed and pressed, and the resulting must is fermented in 500 hectolitre stainless steel tanks with a refrigeration system. The wine then remains in the bottle for 3 months to enhance all the freshness of the fruit
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
