- Vibrant fruity aromas of cherries and strawberries combine with attractive blackberry notes, black pepper, and dried fruit. Soft and juicy on the palate showing a beautifully balanced acidity which lengthens the finish.
The 2023 vintage’s growing season began with low levels of the existing water in the soils following a dry and icy winter. The cool, dry winter was followed by a relatively cool spring that delayed the beginning of the growth cycle. However, the weather warmed up during the ripening period, and grapes reached good maturity levels. The harvest occurred under warm conditions and produced low yields of good-quality fruit.

Winery | The vineyard is located in the Curico Valley at an altitude of 243 metres. It is on the 35th parallel south, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Intense sunshine is tempered by cooling sea breezes, allowing the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The warm, dry days and cold nights encourage a long growing season, which is ideally suited to produce healthy vines and grapes. Working with a model of micro viticulture, each plot of no more than half a hectare is identified according to its terroir and microclimate and planted accordingly. The grapes are cultivated using specific pruning methods, irrigation, canopy management, and harvesting, which results in the fruit having optimum quality and flavour. The fertile soils are alluvial, with clay loam and stone at 80cm. |
