Region
Wines of Chile continue the legacy of Spanish wine culture in the 'New World'. The rugged and wild landscapes, with the currents of the Pacific to one side and the Andean slopes to the other, allow excellent climatic conditions for the cultivation of varieties brought from the Old World: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay which prosper with indigenous grapes like Carmenere.
Tasting Notes
White flowers, orange blossom, notes of fresh grass. Smooth and persistent mouthfeel, medium volume and juiciness finish, vibrant and refreshing natural acidity.
Food Pairing
Ideal for all fish and seafood, and pasta and rice salads.
Valle
The grapes hail from Aconcagua Valley one of the country’s premier wine regions. With a Mediterranean-like climate - hot, dry summers and mild, brief winters - the area benefits from the cooling effects of the nearby ocean. Morning fogs ensure slow, even ripening, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and complexity.
Technical Information
The grapes are harvested at their optimum ripening moment to obtain a balanced wine with the exact levels of acidity and sugar. The must goes through a cold pre-fermentation maceration period of about 6 hours. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 14-16ºC in stainless steel tanks for 15-17 days. The process continues during a short aging period on the lees, giving rise to an elegant, fresh and fruity wine.
