Viticulture

The grapes for this wine come from our estate located in Casablanca, a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. This valley is well-known for its cool climate that allows obtaining small clusters and grapes that develop colors, aromas, and flavors that are characteristic of a slow ripening process. Of limited production, the vineyard is trellised to the vertical shoot position and grows on clayey, granitic soils of low fertility that gives life to remarkable wines

Vinification

After being harvested by hand, the grapes were kept refrigerated for three days at 5º C. They were then manually selected, delicately crushed, and underwent careful manual punch downs. The idea was to extract only positive components from the skins, without over-extracting. Later, and to preserve all the attributes of this distinctive variety, the wine underwent cold maceration for 35 days in stainless steel tanks, aging is 80% in French oak foudres of 2,000 and 4,000 liters and 20% in new 300 liters French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is stored for around 12 months.
