About Clos des Fous, 'Pour Ma Gueule' Itata Valley
This bright, energetic red from Chile’s Itata Valley is all about freshness, purity, and drinkability. A field blend of old-vine Cinsault and País, it delivers lively red berry aromas, wild herbs, and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it’s juicy and vibrant, with crunchy cranberry, sour cherry, and a hint of spice, wrapped in soft tannins and a mineral-driven finish. Light yet full of personality, this is the kind of wine that disappears quickly—pure, unpretentious, and dangerously easy to drink.
Crafted by Pedro Parra, Chile’s leading terroir expert and winemaker, Pour Ma Gueule is a true expression of Itata Valley’s ancient vines and granite soils. Parra, a world-renowned soil specialist, has spent years mapping the terroirs of Burgundy, Champagne, and beyond, before returning home to champion Chile’s historic dry-farmed vineyards. The 100-year-old bush vines grow in decomposed granite soils, shaped by cool Pacific breezes that preserve the wine’s natural acidity. Hand-harvested, fermented with wild yeasts, and aged in neutral vessels, this is minimal-intervention winemaking at its best—raw, expressive, and incredibly drinkable.
