- An opulent wine with vibrant notes of ripe black fruits layered with hints of nut, spice, mocha, and fine herbal notes characteristic of Maipo Alto. It is elegant and complex on the palate, with supple tannins and a savoury finish. Exotic and delicious. The grapes were hand-picked and carefully selected before being crushed into stainless steel tanks. Fermentation lasted seven days at 23 to 27°C, with skin contact lasting 15 days. The daily pump-overs were determined by tastings and were reduced in volume towards the end of fermentation, extracting the desired level of tannins, colour and flavours. The wine was macerated for six days before being racked into French oak barrels, which matured for 14 months.

Winery | The grapes are sourced from low-yielding vines from the Liguai Estate. Located in the Maipo Valley’s 'Maipo-Andes' subregion, the vineyard is between 440 and 520 metres in the mountain foothills. The double Guyot-trained vines are drip irrigated and grown in alluvial soils with low fertility. Once the grapes have reached optimum maturity levels, the harvest occurs manually. |
