14% ABV / 750ml / Vegetarian / Vegan / Organic / Biodynamic

Viticulture:

Planted at 170m above sea level in the Maule Valley, the climate is temperate with a six-month dry season and an annual rainfall of 700mm. The high temperatures during the ripening period are moderated by cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean. The soil is sandy-clay loam with some granite throughout.

Winemaking:

The grapes were handpicked, and the bunches were destemmed but not crushed. The whole berries then underwent a cold maceration for four to nine days prior to fermentation in 40,000-litre tanks using selected and native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously in tanks. No oak treatment.
