Natalia Poblete and Maria Jose Ortuzar met at university while studying Agronomy and Winemaking. After graduation in 2007, they kept in touch as they worked at wineries around the world. In 2014 they joined forces to start Moretta. Natalia is still the winemaker at another Chilean winery, whereas Moretta is Maria Jose’s full-time job. Some of you may remember them starring in a VV virtual tasting in 2021. Their Les Espias (The Spies) Chenin Blanc was fermented in concrete eggs and stainless steel, then aged on the lees for eight months in stainless.  Apricot, white peach, bosc pear, hazelnut, hint of butter.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This delightfull white pairs wonderfully with everything under the sea from tuna and avocado tartare and smoked salmon to sushi, raw oysters, crispy crab cakes drizzled with Remoulade, flash fried calamari and even traditional fish and chips. If you’re staying on dry land this fall, try a refreshing glass with a crisp salad topped with apples and goat cheese, braised pork tacos topped with avocado slices and spicy peanut sauce, honey-glazed chicken wings, chicken and sausage Jambalaya, creamy risotto with peas or pasta shells tossed with fresh asparagus and goat cheese. Or simply enjoy a glass with Bûcheron, Crottin, or Brillat‐Savarin.
