The grapes were all grown in the same terroir from our vineyards at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, in Maipo Valley.. The grapes were strictly selected before crushing. Each variety was fermented separately, with an average cold maceration period of 7 days at 4º-5ºC. Fermentation was carried out with a total maceration period of 20 days, average. 100% of the wine was aged in French oak barrels for a period of 12 months. After bottling, the wine was aged for additional 12 months prior to its release. An excellent Bordeaux-style blend. The nose is deep and smoky. Rich, clean and integrated on the palate, with layering and style. It is powerful and fruity. Earthy, ripe, with notes of tobacco, plums and cassis. |
