Selected from the sustainably certified parcels in
the Idahue Estate. Located 15 miles from the
Pacific Ocean, La Ronciere’s ambitious 500 acre
Idahue Estate is their vision for the future.
Prevailing coastal breezes, abundant sunshine,
and rolling hills of ancient soils culminate in a
privileged climatic and geological landscape.
Years of research and a forward-looking
approach drove the successful effort that saw
Licanten granted D.O. status in 2018.

Fermentation was carried out in open-top French
oak barrels with a gentle manual treading on the
skins. A very cool fermentation proceeds for seven
days. The wine is pressed and racked to barrel for
6 months while malolactic fermentation takes place.
50% of the blend is aged in new French oak for 6
months while the remaining 50% is maintained in
stainless steel tank. 

Moussai reflects La Ronciere’s approach to varietal
bottlings in a Grand Reserve line. Fruit is carefully
selected from plots in the foothills of the Andes; the
combination of alluvial, volcanic, and granite soils
and oscillating temperatures help produce an
extremely smooth, fresh and fruity wine. 

Varietal: Pinot Noir
