I might be in love with pipeño. I adore its rustic quality, the fact that it is the people’s wine of Chile. It is one of the only wines to use pais grapes, which are indigenous to South America, rather than Europe. But it’s also the perfect summer wine. It’s light bodied and chillable, but also fruit forward and flavorful. Obviously, it depends on the pairing, but we had it with ceviche, lima beans, and salad, and boy was it the perfect pairing.

I’m such a fan of this wine and it’s especially one of my faves with a burger or something similar on a hot day.
One thing to note – Païs isn’t native to Chile. It’s the same grape as Listan Prieto which is likely native to the Canary Islands. It’s the same grape as Mission and Criolla Chica and has been grown throughout the Americas for 500+ years which is super cool.
