The grapes were 100% hand-harvested into 18-kilogram boxes, carefully selected and then fermented to dryness in 25,000-litre stainless steel tanks. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts and lasted for seven to 10 days at controlled temperatures of 25 to 28°C. Extended skin maceration lasted six to eight days, followed by 100% malolactic conversion. The wine was matured in 225-litre French oak barrels of second and third use for 10 to 12 months.

Winery

The vineyard is located in Molina in the Curico Valley at an altitude of 243 metres. It is on the 35th parallel south, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Intense sunshine is tempered by cooling sea breezes, allowing the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The warm, dry days and cold nights encourage a long growing season, which provides the perfect conditions for bold yet elegant red wines, especially the regional star Cabernet Sauvignon. Working with a model of micro viticulture, each plot of no more than half a hectare is identified according to its terroir and microclimate and planted accordingly. Grapes are cultivated using specific pruning methods, irrigation, canopy management and harvesting, which results in grapes of optimum quality and flavour. The fertile soils are alluvial, with clay loam and stone at 80cm.
