Description

Syrah 55% Mourvedre 40% Viognier 5% This blend is produced with grapes grown at the slopes of Paidahuen (920 m a.s.l.), the hillside vine cultivation offers rocky soil, low fertility and special solar exposure that favour the accumulation and ripening of tannins. Moreover, the cool, night breeze that descends from the Andes Mountains creates an exceptional temperature variation, producing the complexity and elegance that distinguish Aconcagua Valley wines.  Hand-picked, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel (25ºC) it was macerated for 25 days and then aged in 225-litre French oak barrels for 12 months. After bottling this wine was aged for at least 6 additional months before release. 13.5%

Elegant and fresh deep blue berries aromas, spice and hints of vanilla. Well balanced with round tannins and some creamy oak notes on the finish.
