Description

Viticulture

Our vines average 26 years old, on trellises and drip irrigation. Planted on a terrace in the Andes on the banks of the Maipo River. Alluvial soil, the first 20 cm is loam with many small gravels. At the meter we find calcareous veins mixed with small colluvium from the mountains that surround the vineyard.

Vinification

7 days cold pre fermentative maceration. Alcoholic fermentation in small stainless steel tanks. Post fermentative maceration: 4 days. The malolactic fermentation is achieved in barrels

Wine aging

100% of the wine is aged in personalized French oak barrels over 18 months and then aged in bottle for over a year before market release.

Vintage details

There were cold temperatures and increasing rainfall during the harvest. We reacted quickly harvesting at the right and ideal time, thereby we had no problems with burst grapes or development of botrytis. We were able to crush high quality and healthy grapes.

Tasting notes

Well balanced with fine and silky tannins, creamy core of blueberries, chocolate and cherry notes.
