The Story

Intense ruby-red color. The nose has layer upon layer of caramel, cinnamon and candy with hints of mint, but without any dominance of oak. A spicy, full-flavored wine, with good body, fruit and firm tannins and an engaging strong finish. Drink now or cellar for a few years.
 

VINEYARDS

The vineyards are located in the Colchagua Valley. The soils are derived from granite at different stages of weathering and with vast extensions of red clay at moderate depth. This type of soil is poor in organic matter and has a moderate capacity for moisture retention due to the stones and alluvial sediments at depth. Our Cabernet Sauvignon grows in areas that are flat or moderately sloped with a north-northwest orientation. The vines are vertically positioned and double guyot trained with shoots of no more than 40 inches. Vineyard density is 5,555 plants/hectare (2,250 plants/acre) to obtain yields of approximately 10 tons/ha (4 tons/acre). Irrigation is regulated in the final stage of the season to ensure that the fruit reaches harvest with small berries and optimal levels of sugar and color. This ultimately results in greater polyphenolic richness and wines with intense color and great aging potential, which is closely tied to the care with which the compounds are extracted using enological techniques for pumpovers and skin maceration.
