TERROIR
Deep, poor, rocky soils. Irrigation from the Andes. Wide thermal amplitude with big differences (approximatelly 22° C between the minimun during thecold mornings and nights, and the maximun during sunny days). Dry climate, little rainfall, 120mm of rain a year, 15% humidity and 300 days of sunshine. Cold mornings and nights, and long hot days result in wines that are highly concentrated in color, aromas and flavors with a unique fruity character.

The effect of this wide thermal amplitude has on the grapes is to give them higher concentration of fruit, color and balance. The grapes are vinified separately and aged for 15 months in both American and French oak barrels.

Bright, cherry red with intense purple sparkles.
Aroma
Lovely intense plum jam notes with a nice presence of oaked vanilla and raisins.
Palate
Harmonic bouquet where the tastes of mature red fruits, chocolate and fine oak combine perfectly. Sweet and soft tannins.
