Cousiño-Macul Isidora
Wine Description
Good rainfall during winter, followed by a cool spring and dry summer lead to lower yields in the 2010-2011 vintage. Characterized by healthy fruit with excellent flavor and maturity, the grapes were hand-harvested during the first nights of March. 100% of the grapes were pressed to accentuate the natural freshness of the wine. A 30-day fermentation in stainless steel was followed by 5 months of aging in stainless steel tanks before bottling in October.
