ORIGIN
This wine was made entirely from grapes from our own vineyards located in the coastal area of the Limarí Valley in the north of Chile.
VINEYARD
The vines are planted in the oldest alluvial terrace of the Limarí river. The soil profile is a mix of gravel of different sizes, clay and sand, with high concentration of active calcium carbonate (limestone), caused by the limited rainfall
(70 – 100 mm) in the area.
This geological condition makes the area unique in Chile in terms of soil formation and composition.
CLIMATE
The vineyards are planted 29 km from the Pacific Ocean, which has a great influence on the temperatures of the Limarí Valley due to the strong daily breezes, cooling the area and making it very suitable for grape growing. In addition, the spectacular phitosanitary conditions of the grapes because of the absence of rain during the harvest season make this area a paradise for vines and good quality grape.
PRODUCTION
From pruning to harvesting, all work done in the vineyard is completed under the careful supervision of the viticulture and winemaking team in order to produce the best quality fruit possible.
The fruit was handpicked and then placed in 20kg cases to avoid damage to the grapes. Picking started the first week of May, when the grapes reached their optimal phenolic maturity. The bunches were hand-sorted before going to the destemmer where the grapes were separated from the stems. After the destemmer the grapes were hand-sorted again. Fermentation was carried out in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The ma-ceration took place after the alcoholic fermentation.
AGEING
The wine was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Nice red color wine with a great concentration on the nose.
Ripe, full of red fruits such as raspberry and strawberry, and with a hint of vanilla. On the palate it is full bodied with nice tannins and great structure. The wine is well balanced with a nice acidity and lots of fruit. Long and pleasant finish.
