- A complex and elegant Petit Verdot with aromas of ripe red fruits enhanced by herbal, tobacco, black pepper, and spicy notes. The palate is well structured and fresh, with soft tannins and a distinctive mineral note that leads to a long finish. An opulently styled and intense wine with vibrant black fruits.
The grapes were carefully selected and macerated at a temperature of 7°C in stainless steel tanks for 24 to 72 hours. During fermentation, the frequency of pumping over was reduced, as Petit Verdot imparts good levels of colour, structure and flavour without too much extraction. During the final third of fermentation, gentle pump-overs took place to submerge the cap. Post fermentation maceration lasted for 10 days, before being transferred 100% French oak barrels, where malolactic conversion took place, followed by 12 to 14 months ageing.

Winery | The Liguai Estate is located in the Maipo Andes subregion and is nestled against the mountain foothills at between 440 and 520 metres elevation. Trained on Double Guyot systems the vines are drip irrigated and are grown in rocky soils of both alluvial and colluvial origin. The cooling influences of the mountain air, along with the Pacific Ocean breezes ensure a long ripening season, resulting in concentrated flavours in the berries combined with a balancing acidity. Harvested by hand, the grapes are picked when they have reached the perfect maturity. |
