Light ruby red in color. Complex and multi-layered, with a predominance of red cherry notes and a hint of black tea leaf. Refreshing, with an excellent combination of structure and minerality and a long, fresh finish.
Denomination of Origin
Limarí Valley
VINEYARD
Quebrada Seca Vineyard, Blocks 5 y 6 D.O. Limarí, Limarí Valley
WEATHER
Coastal. The cool breezes from the coast blow directly into the valley and moderate the temperatures, and this, combined with the typical morning clouds allow the grapes to ripen slowly and thus produce fresher wines.
This year presented slightly higher temperatures and less morning fog than in normal years, and there was no rain during the harvest period.
AGING
12 months in French oak barrels, 20% new, and 80% second and third-use.
SOIL
Blocks 5 and 6 are associated with the Santa Cristina soil series and are of colluvial origin, with the presence of angular stones and a good percentage of red clay and calcium carbonate.
