WINEMAKING & VINEYARDS
HARVEST: 70% MECHANICAL 30% MANUAL
VINIFICATION | Our wines are made cold pre-fermentation for 20 – 25 days for four days at a controlled temperature of less than 10ºC. Following with traditional pumping-over extraction and fermentation with active dry yeast between 25ºC – 28ºC.
60% of the yield is divided into aging for a period of 6 months and the other 40% for a period of 8 months, both yields take place in American new and used oak barrels that result in very subtle secondary aromas. Blending in stainless steel tanks brings a fresh and unique style to our wines.
ORIGIN: VINEYARDS IN MAULE VALLEY
CLIMATE | The winery is located relatively close to the Pacific Ocean. Maule (Alquihue) features cool temperatures with a Mediterranean climate and moderately warm summers.
The vineyards receive coastal breezes which during winter helps guard the grapes from the rainfall. The climate also promotes high difference diurnal temperatures that produce a great balance between ripeness and acidity.
