The 2021 Lunita is a new entry-level unoaked Pinot Noir from a vineyard planted in 1945 that they recovered with the idea to make a more structured wine than the Cincuenta y Cinco, as the soils have calcium carbonate and silt. It's some four kilometers from Chacra, and it's a vineyard he purchased to develop the white wines. It's a little different because the soils are different and so is the massal selection. The idea was to ferment destemmed and without using oak. After a short fermentation in concrete with indigenous yeasts, it matured in concrete tanks for nine months. It's light and fresh, with 12% alcohol and a lower pH than the other reds (3.5). It's fruit driven and primary, perhaps with more fruit than the others.
