Vineyards

The grapes come from selected vineyards that grow near the Pacific Ocean coast in the Aconcagua Region, on hills at an altitude of 100 to 300 meters above sea level. The gentle Pacific breeze and morning fog make these vineyards ideal for producing varieties such as Chardonnay.

Vintage

Even though the winter was slightly less rainy than average, starting the season regularly. Spring continued normally too cold in September and October, with cloudy days in November and December causing shoots to grow rapidly.The cloudy days and drizzle in January made the harvest uncertain and distant.The canopy management improved the ventilation of the bunches, and the good temperatures in March allowed them to reach the level of maturity. These climatic conditions favoured the production of grapes with higher acidity and excellent concentration of aromas, resulting in wines with vibrant acidity, juiciness and very expressive on the nose.

Winemaking

Grapes were hand-picked early in the morning, and whole-cluster pressed. Fermentation took place in 70% of the must in French oak barrels. The wine stayed in touch with its most refined lees while ageing for 9 months in French oak barrels.
