Product notes
This blend comes from old vines of dry land, planted on very old red granite soils of the Paleozoic era. Mostly Itata, several vineyards from Cauquenes and San Rosendo. All the vineyards are very small around 2- 5has, is a perfect example of our history and winemaking tradition.
Production notes
Harvested by hand from selected grapes from old vines of dry farming of Itata and Cauquenes. Fermented by the traditional artisan methods. Every grape, from every winegrower were harvested, fermented and aged separately. Once the wines were ready we blended to propose this new fresh assemblage.
Tasting notes
Beautiful dark ruby-red color with violet highlights. Outstanding fruit, with a nose full of red berries, black cherry, black pepper hints of violets. Those elements come through on the palate, with fresh black and red fruit, revealing a full-bodied wine. This wine opens generously, very silky and lush on the palate. In mid palate is round and velvety with very fine tannins and the excellent acidity enhance its liveliness and balance.
