Analytical Data
Wine Production
The grapes are handpicked and then taken to the cellar, where they are de-stemmed and put in stainless steel tanks for a prefermentative cold soak for 3 to 4 days. The fermentation is carried on between 25° and 26°C, with mild extractions, taking between 8 to 12 days to finish. Afterwards, the wine goes through a 1 or 2-week post fermentative maceration to gain in complexity and roundness. Once it has reached its optimum quality, it goes directly to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, ageing for 12 months.
About the Vineyard
Andes influence vineyards: deeper soils that result in a later maturity, richer texture and round tannins. Coastal influence vineyards: thinner soils with sand content provide structure and harder - rustic tannins.
