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

An elegant wine with deep, sophisticated colour and floral notes of violet and white flowers. Its firm tannins and ripe fruit create a refined, long finish.

Food Pairing

This is the ideal accompaniment to stewed or grilled meats, mild cheeses and charcuterie.

Valle

Colchagua Valley is located in the Central Valley region between the Andes and the coast. This region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with a maritime influence, with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. This climate, together with the alluvial and stony soil composition, provides ideal conditions for the vineyard.

Technical Information

To ensure the highest quality and freshness of our fruit, we meticulously plan the harvest schedule. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and cooled to 12°C for 24 hours to preserve their aromas. The fermentation process is carried out at a controlled temperature of 24-25°C, which allows the aromatic compounds and the characteristic colour of the variety to be extracted to the maximum. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with its fine lees for several months to acquire complexity and roundness, thus expressing its full fruit potential.
