Tasting notes
Naturally made elegant dry white wine. Brilliant straw yellow with big tears. Remarkable typical nose of white stone fruit like apricot and peach with vanilla. Juicy attack, distinctive texture, spicy character with harmonic undertones and lingering finish. Excellent with fried fish, white poultry, grilled vegetables and smoked fish. Also delicious with hard cheeses. Serving temperature: 12°C
Wine Story
I met Frank Matthys at a fair in London in 2014. He asked me if he could try "just one wine" to get an impression of our cellar, but he ended up trying every bottle we had on the table... for me, a very good start.
From the beginning everything made sense to us: Frank's innovative character in a relatively conservative market, a portfolio of producers we admire and the family nature of the company. We quickly established a partnership for Matthys to represent De Martino in the gastronomy in Belgium, and immediately afterwards Frank visited us in Chile to get to know De Martino and our vineyards in Maipo and Itata better.
It is a pleasure to work with companies (and people) with whom we share a similar vision and commitment. We hope that the journey with Matthys Wines will be a long one, as we know that we could not be better represented in Belgium.

Desde el principio todo nos hizo sentido: el carácter innovador de Frank en un mercado relativamente conservador, un portfolio de productores a los que admiramos y la naturaleza familiar de la empresa. Rápidamente establecimos un partnership para que Matthys representase a De Martino en la gastronomía en Bélgica e, inmediatamente después, Frank nos visitó en Chile para conocer más a fondo a De Martino y nuestros viñedos en Maipo e Itata.
Es un agrado trabajar con empresas (y personas) con las que compartimos una visión y compromiso similar. Esperamos que el viaje junto a Matthys Wines sea uno largo, ya que sabemos que no podríamos estar mejor representados en Bélgica.
