This wine has all the seriousness, subtleness, elegance and nuances that old Semillon is capable of. Complex and elegant citrus, white flowers and vanilla aromas lead to a perfectly balanced palate with a sleek finish.
The grapes were harvested at perfect maturity levels into small cases of 20kg to maintain the integrity of each cluster. A meticulous selection by hand was performed before a skin maceration of 48 hours at 10°C. 60% of the must was fermented in used French oak barrels and 40% was fermented in concrete eggs, at low temperatures between 14° and 16°C. Maturation lasted six months, with 60% aged in French oak barrels and 40% in concrete eggs.

| Winery | This Semillon was sourced from forgotten vines that are over 50 years old. These old vineyards are located in Río Negro in Patagonia, at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level on the 39° latitude south. Sunlight exposure is more intense than in northern areas, but the nights are much colder at this latitude. This daily diurnal temperature range is excellent for producing quality grapes; the nightly cooling-off extends the ripening period, allowing the grapes to develop rich varietal characteristics while retaining balancing acidity. |
