The palate is clean, and fresh, balanced and with a very refreshing finish.

Why Do We Love This?

The grapes come from different growers in Chile’s Central Valley, where there is apredominance of alluvial soils in most areas. A wide range of strategies is used inmanaging the canopy, all aimed at maximizing the amount of sunshine reaching thearea where the fruit is ripening. The preferred technique consists in training theshoots vertically, which improves their exposure to the sun’s rays and enhances thedevelopment of flavour in the fruit. Irrigation is applied in a measured fashion, inorder to maintain the balanced growth of the vine and achieve a constant rhythm ofripening. The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure that they reach the winery intop condition. They are separated from the stalks and then crushed, leaving aconsiderable percentage of the grapes whole; then the must is cooled and putaside to settle. Later, it is inoculated with selected yeasts to bring about alcoholicfermentation. This process takes 20 days at controlled temperatures between14o and 16ºC, in order to obtain a maximum of aromas and varietal character.
