Generous nose of clean, ripe berries, with appealing  herbal notes and the perfume of subtle oak. On palate it is all these flavours - a gorgeous wine with excellent balance. Drink now or until 2014. The vineyard is established in alluvial soils. The texture is sandy loam with a profile of gravel and stones that ensure excellent conditions in terms of drainage. Fertility is low and yields are properly controlled to obtain a good concentration on the fruits. Combinations of high temperatures during summer, up to 32º Celsius, as well as lower temperatures up to 15º Celsius, permit perfect ripening conditions for the fruits. From the Maipo valley the wine received strong tannins and a good structure which is well harmonized by the ripe fruits aromas of berries and cassis. The grapes were hand picked according to their ripeness during the two last weeks of April. A cold maceration for 4 to 5 days as well as a malolactic fermentation was done naturally in barrels and in stainless steel tanks.60% of the wine was racked in French and American barrels for 10 months. The wine was bottled unfiltered and was stored for three months before it was released.  Winemaking was in hands of Alvaro Espinoza and Juan Carlos Faundez.
