WINEMAKER: MARCO PUYO

DESCRIPTION OF THE VINEYARD
Vineyard planted in 1993 in Valle del Maipo andes, D.O Pirque, in the piedmont of the mountain range between 750 and 900 m.a.s.l., on the south bank of the Maipo River. The soil is of alluvial origin with a large amount of round and irregular gravels.

CLIMATE
Sub-humid Mediterranean with a strong influence from the Andes Mountains. It corresponds to one of the coldest areas within the Maipo Andes Valley having a pronounced difference between day and night temperatures (between 18 and 22 °C) creating the perfect condition to preserve the aromas, flavours and the correct ripeness of the tannins in the grapes.

VINIFICATION
The harvest begins at the end of February, we select the grapes and put them into the stainless steel tank by gravity. Here we start a pre-fermentative maceration for 5 days at 8°c and start the alcoholic fermentation for 7 days at 25 °C with 4 to 6 pump-overs per day. Once fermentation is complete we begin a second 14 day post-fermentation maceration at 20°c for further extraction of aromas and soft tannins.
