Invasion Pinot opens with expressive aromas of ripe red cherries, strawberries, and wild raspberries, framed by subtle floral notes and hints of spice.

The texture is silky yet vibrant, finishing clean and crisp with a lingering lift of minerality that speaks to its coastal granite terroir.

Winemaker's Background:

Colectivo Mutante was founded in 2016 by Diego Edwards and Cedric Nicolle, two friends who set out to craft wines of authenticity, originality, and place. Initially drawn to parcels of Pedro Ximénez in the Limarí Valley, they expanded their vision to include Pinot Noir from the Aconcagua Coast. With a philosophy rooted in experimentation, respect for terroir, and a passion for discovery, Colectivo Mutante produces only about 500 cases annually. Diego also runs a small wine import and distribution company in Santiago and brings global inspiration to the project, while Cedric contributes his deep experience in viticulture and winemaking.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve slightly chilled at 55–58 °F (13–14 °C) to highlight its lively freshness. Perfect alongside grilled salmon, roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, or charcuterie boards. Its juicy fruit and crisp structure also make it versatile with spiced dishes or as an enjoyable standalone red for casual gatherings.

The 2022 Colectivo Mutante ‘Invasion Pinot’ embodies both the coastal freshness of Chile’s Aconcagua and the spirit of winemaking innovation, an expressive, drinkable Pinot that delights from start to finish.
