Deep red with lush cherry, black currant, and blackberry aromas with a touch of tar and smoke. The highly concentrated flavors are framed by firm tannins. The texture is smooth—almost silky—and masks the firm tannic structure that lies below and only appears on the lingering finish.
Denomination of Origin
Puente Alto Vineyard and Pirque Vineyard, D.O Maipo, Maipo Valley.
VINEYARD
Both vineyards are located close to the foothills of the Andes Mountains –Puente Alto 650 msnm and Pirque 570 msnm-, and have alluvial soils that are poor in nutrients, rocky, and highly permeable due to the abundance of gravel in the subsoil.
WEATHER
Semi-arid Mediterranean with a strong influence of the Andes Mountains. This is the coldest part of the Maipo Valley and has a pronounced difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures (approximately 18oC). An extended ripening period concentrated and intensifies the aromas in the grapes.
AGING
16 months in French oak barrels, and in 5,000-liter foudre.
SOIL
Associated with fluvial terraces. Alluvial, rocky, poor in nutrients, and highly permeable due to the abundance of gravel in the subsoil.
