This wine was vinified naturally, without any additions at any stage. Each variety was vinified separately, with fermentation taking place with wild, native yeasts at temperatures from 15 to 25°C. An extended skin-contact maceration lasted for 10 days, to extract colour, aromas and flavours and the wine underwent malolactic conversion to soften the texture. The wine was aged for 18 months in French Burgundy barrels, of which 25% were new oak.

Winery | The fruit comes from a combination of vineyards located in the Valle de Maule and the Valle de Colchagua. In the Valle de Maule, the ancient soils are made up of granitic sandy loam, which is formed from granite from the Coastal Mountains. The soils are full of quartz and are mineral-rich, which enables the vines to express their full fruit potential. In the Valle de Colchagua, the alluvial soil offers excellent drainage properties, oxygenation and deep development of the vine roots, which creates exceptional conditions for the production of high quality fruit. Both the Valle de Maule and Valle de Colchagua benefit from Mediterranean climates, with cold and rainy winters that contrast with hot and dry summers. The lack of rainfall continues throughout the growth period, which forces the vines to send their roots deeper into the soil, in search of water and nutrients, resulting in complexity in the wine. |
