ORIGIN
Appellation: Maipo Valley
Grape Variety:100% Cabernet Sauvignon
WINEMAKING
After harvest the grapes are ground and undergo a 3-day pre-fermentation cold (5°C) maceration to encourage fruity aromas and increase the intensity of the colour in the wine.
Fermentation takes place at 25°—26°C to extract silky tannins. After malolactic fermentation the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of varying uses. It is then bottled and allowed to evolve for another 6 months prior to its release to market.
