- It is a bold and intense wine with a dark chocolate and cigar box character, rich with just a hint of mint and black olive flavours, and a highly aromatic Syrah, as blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry characters are presented in this wine of great personality. Hints of bitter chocolate combine seamlessly with notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and tobacco on the palate. Well-balanced, with a juicy and long-lasting finish
The grapes were fermented to dryness in 12,000 and 15,000-litre open stainless steel tanks over a period of eight days. Selected yeasts were used, and the temperatures were maintained between 24 to 28°C. Once fermentation was complete, extended skin maceration took place for an additional 10 days, extracting flavour, colour and structure. The wine then went through 100% malolactic conversion before being matured in 225-litre French oak barrels of second and third use for 10 to 12 months.
A bold and intense Syrah with aromatic notes of blackberry, blueberry and raspberry characters, combined with hints of bitter chocolate and black pepper. Round, velvety and full-bodied with a rich finish.

Winery | The vineyard is located in the cool, coastal hills of the Colchagua Valley. Located at 170 metres above sea level, the vines are planted close to the Rapel River, which offers a tempering microclimate to the heat. The vines are grown just 15 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, providing tremendous maritime influence, with constant coastal breezes cooling the vines. The vineyard is also significantly influenced by the Humboldt Current. Summers are warm, with temperatures of up to 25°C, allowing the grapes to reach excellent maturity and concentration of flavours while retaining balancing, natural acidity. The vines are grown in granitic soils with a clay-loam texture, which is poor in organic matter and offers good drainage. |
