Vinification Details
Grapes were handpicked in prime condition in the cool morning hours and transported in small 15 kilogram boxes to the winery, where they were inspected on a double selection board to remove vegetal remains and damaged berries to assure the final quality of the wine.
Fermentation took place with selected yeasts at 24-28C in small-volume stainless steel tanks to allow a larger proportion of contact between the skins and the juice. Up to three daily pumpovers were made according to the desired level of extraction. Depending on the individual development of each lot, they completed a total maceration time of 9 to 35 days.
All lots were aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (65% new), where malolactic fermentation, clarifcation and stabilization occurred in a natural way. To best express the terroir of the Aconcagua Valley, and to increase the wines complexity, different percentages of Carmenere, Petit Verdot and Malbec were added to the final blend.
