About
Undurraga cultivates their vineyards with respect for the environment and follow a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar to showcase the terroir.
Viticulture: The Cauquenes area is part of DO Valle de Maule with the estate located on the bank of the Tutuvén River, which has a cooling effect on the vines during the warm afternoons.
The vineyard was planted in 2009 and has deep soils with variable texture. The topsoil consists of clay with high silica content, with partially weathered granite and even quartz in the subsoil. This low-yielding terroir receives a limited water supply during the ripening process and the resulting low yield is concentrated for a rich, ripe wine.
Winemaking: The grapes were carefully selected to remove any green or dehydrated berries. The healthy grapes were crushed and cold macerated for five days at 4 to 6°C to obtain good intensity of colour and aroma concentration. Fermentation took place with natural yeast at 26 to 28°C, lasting for 18 days with three daily pump overs. Post fermentation maceration took place on the lees lasting for 14 days, enhancing the structure. The wine was racked into French oak barrels, of which 30% were new, where malolactic conversion took place before being aged for 14 months.
