Climate: |
Mediterranean climate characterized by large day/night temperature differences as a result of the proximity with the Pacific Ocean (80 Km) and the Andes Mountains (60 Km). |
Viniculture: |
Age of vines: 40 year old vineyards under a pergola system and very low yields.
Harvest method: All the grapes for this wine were hand picked during the last days of April. |
Vinification: |
This wine underwent cold macerations for 5 days and was fermented at 28°C. The must was delicately pumped over through the skins in order to increase extraction. Just before malolactic fermentation this wine was transferred to new French oak barrels where it was aged for 14 months. |
Tasting Notes: |
Very dark red and somewhat opaque. Complex nose with plums, cherries, liquorice, vanilla and cocoa. Full bodied with firm yet blended tannins as well as hints of cherry and toffee on the finish. This wine can be a great companion for Rack of lamb stuffed with boletus. |
