Deep, dark red in color with lush aromas of cherries, blackcurrant, and blackberry with a touch of black and white pepper. Tight and focused with deeply concentrated flavors and an almost silky texture with soft, smooth tannins that come to the fore at the beginning of the long finish.
Denomination of Origin
Peumo Vineyard, D.O. Peumo, Cachapoal Valley, Banks of the Cachapoal River.
VINEYARD
The Peumo Vineyard is located 170 m above sea level and extends along the Cachapoal River and the terraces and hills of the Coastal Mountains. The vines are from a pre-phylloxera field selection and are vertically positioned. The soils are deep and able to retain water due to a top layer of clay. This helps control vine vigor and growth and allows the vines to remain active until harvest at the end of May.
WEATHER
Mediterranean, with an extended dry season. The temperatures are warm during the day and temperate at night without extremes. They are influenced by the Cachapoal River and Rapel Lake.
AGING
10 months in barrels (80% French and 20% American) and 5.000 lts. casks.
SOIL
Alluvial in origin. Deep silty-clay texture.
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".
