Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Intense garnet red in colour with a violet hue. The nose is ripe but fresh, with fruity notes recalling black cherries and plums along with a bit of menthol, while notes of spices such as nutmeg appear on the backdrop. The palate is juicy, and the tannins are robust and velvety, leading with notes of blackberries and chocolate on the lingering finish.

About

The grapes come from a historic vineyard in Padre Hurtado in the lower Maipo Valley at an altitude of 405 meters above sea level.

The vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic and managed accordingly.

The grapes were hand picked and the whole berries had four to five days of cold maceration at 14ºC prior to fermentation with eight to ten days of maceration at 25ºC after fermentation.

Native and selected yeasts were used during the fermentation, which took place in small tanks of 40,000 Lts. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in tanks.

The wine is unoaked.

Ideal with...

Fennel sausage and mash, macaroni cheese, meatloaf.
