Denomination of Origin
Peumo Vineyard, banks of the Cachapoal River, D.O. Peumo, Cachapoal Valley.
VINEYARD
The Peumo Vineyard is located at an altitude of 170 masl and extends along the Cachapoal River, on terraces of the Coastal Mountain Range. The vines were produced through massal selection from pre-phylloxera genetic material and are VSP-trained. The soils are deep and the top layer is clay, which retains moisture, enabling the vines to remain active until late May when the Carmenère is harvested. This soil also helps control the vine's vigour and growth.
WEATHER
The Mediterranean climate has a prolonged dry season. Influenced by the Cachapoal River, and the Rapel Lake, the temperatures are moderate, with warm days and temperate nights. The 2022 season was cool and perfect for growing vines. There was a little rain in late January, making the environment cooler and more humid.
AGING
12 months in French oak barrels and froudres. (27% new and 73% second-use).
SOIL
The soil is associated with the riverbank, being alluvial in origin with clay and loam. The clay lends good moisture retention, which contributes to the grapes ripening well and is perfect for controlling vigour.
Winemakers
MARCIO RAMÍREZ
"At the moment of creating a wine, I always expect it to express all its special features, all the essence of its grapes together with the character of the soil where it belongs. A unique combination that can be appreciated in its color, bouquet and flavors".
