This wine is from a vineyard in Isla De Maipo, in the heart of the Maipo Valley. The vineyard is planted on an alluvial terrace with abundant gravel and just the right amount of clay to make it ideal for this variety.
Winemaking:
The manually harvested grapes were 100% destemmed. A wild ferment in stainless steel was followed by 10 days’ post-fermentative maceration. The malolactic fermentation was completed in the tank. Then the wine was matured in 2,500-litre foudres for 24 months.
Tasting Notes:
This wine has fresh aromas of spices, pepper, ripe black fruit and a mineral hint with notes of graphite. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied with intense, ripe fruit. It has a silky-smooth texture, balanced by elegant tannins and fresh acidity. It has depth and weight in the mouth, along with a very long finish. This wine can be enjoyed while still youthful, but it has sufficient structure to develop greater complexity over the next 15-20 years.
