Luca Hodgkinson Brisas Cinsault Rose 2020
About the wine
A bright, crisp and heartbreakingly limited edition, Cinsault Rosé
- Luca's new Chilean Rosé well and truly woke us up to smell the roses - he's really got the fresh and delicate memo on this one.
- And is it any wonder, considering he harvested the grapes from the impeccable southern region of Itata? Here, Luca's Cinsault grapes are gently harvested from over 100 year old vines that are subject to a cool climate, constant fresh sea breeze and mineral rich soil. Dreamy, frankly.
- A distinctive plush purple colour, with a soft palate that delicately combines flavours of dry cherries and melon. It's plain to see we've got a real contender on our hands.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Luca Hodgkinson
Born and raised in the rugged Priorat region of Catalonia, to an English dad and French mum, Luca got a winemaking Master’s degree in Bordeaux, where he lived in the middle of St Emilion. He’s since made wines on 3 continents, and speaks 5 languages fluently.
Over the years, Luca realised he had to unlearn a lot of stuff from wine school. Like using artificial additives, pesticides, man-made irrigation and fertilizers. He believes vineyards are like people. If left to nature, they have personalities that shine through in their wines.
To Luca, wine is the most social product man has ever made, pure emotion in a glass. A mirror of the soils and location it springs from. It brings our senses down to earth. With Naked funding behind him, he’ll be able to focus 100% on what he’s best at, making his old-vine Chilean classics taste as delicious as possible.
