WINEMAKING & VINEYARDS
HARVEST: 100% MECHANICAL
VINIFICATION | 10 days short maceration with traditional pumping-over. The fermentation starts with active dry yeast, developed at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 28°C. Afterward, the wine is aged over 3 months before blending and bottling. 100% of the yield takes place in American new and used oak barrels that result in very subtle secondary aromas later blended in stainless steel tanks that bring a fresh and unique style to our wines.
ORIGIN: VINEYARDS IN MAULE & COLCHAGUA
CLIMATE | The vineyards are located relatively close to the Pacific Ocean, with yields from Colchagua and Maule valley, young plantations dated to 15 – 40 years old. Maule (Alquihue) features a cool temperature with a Mediterranean climate and moderately warm summers.
The climate also promotes high difference diurnal temperatures that produce a great balance between ripeness and acidity in the grapes. Colchagua (Chepica) is well- known for its abundant and luminous sunshine accompanied by low humidity.
