Bright and intense with aromas of ripe red fruits and black pepper. Medium-bodied with a smooth, well-balanced finish, softened by ripe tannins.

Pairing

This is the ideal companion for game stews and medium to high intensity cured cheeses. It enhances the complexity of their flavours.

Region

Colchagua valley is located in the Central Valley region between the Andes and the coast. This region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with a maritime influence, with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. This climate, together with the alluvial and stony soil composition, provides ideal conditions for the vineyard.

Technical information

To ensure the highest quality and freshness of our fruit, we meticulously plan the harvest schedule. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and cooled to 12°C for 24 hours to preserve their aromas. The fermentation process is carried out at a controlled temperature of 24-25°C, which allows the aromatic compounds and the characteristic colour of the variety to be extracted to the maximum. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with its fine lees for several months to acquire complexity and roundness, thus expressing its full fruit potential.
