Blend: 100% Carménère Location: Lolol, Colchagua Valley Alcohol: 13% ABV Tasting Note: Intense deep purple colour. A showcase for Carménère in its purest form. Fresh profile on the nose with subtle violet, black fruits and cherries intertwined with herbaceous notes that give its character and identity. Further aromas of pepper, boxwood, Chinese ink and licquorice. Bold in the mouth with juiciness and tension from the fresh acidity and structure. Vinification: Strictly controlled hygienic handling to avoid risk of microbial spoilage. Immediate inoculation with yeasts that allow control of the medium from the outset. Fast and efficient fermentation in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 22 and 24°C. Once the fermentation is finished, the wine is racked and full malolactic fermentation is encouraged. Once this is complete the wine is racked twice more before bottling exactly one month after harvest. No sulphites are added during the vinification process. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Perfect pairing with grilled meats (pork, lamb), herb-marinated feta and za’atar flatbreads.

Blend: 47.5% Sauvignon Blanc, 47.5% Chardonnay, 5% Viognier Location: Lolol, Colchagua Valley Alcohol: 13.5% ABV Tasting Note: Medium intensity yellow colour with a coppery rim. It presents a slight cloudiness due to the fact that it is unfiltered in order to give the most natural expression of the blend. Fruity notes reminiscent of quince, pear and apricot as well as an intense presence of mandarin and orange zest nuanced with aromas of beeswax and a pleasant floral bouquet. Complex on the palate, textured and with structure enhanced by the contribution of the skins, which provide chewy tannins, all supported by good acidity and volume on the palate. Vinification: Natural fermentation with prolonged skin contact maceration (30% whole cluster and the rest from destemmed grapes). Fermentation takes place in large 600L French oak barrels of over 5 years of age. These are open and positioned vertically for regular treading during fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, the barrels are closed and refilled for storage for 8 months of further maceration. After this period, the wine is separated from its skins and preserved for one month in clay and ceramic amphorae. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Pairs well with oily fish and even red meats in sandwiches or fresh preparations. Good match with fugazzetas, a cold meat platter, choripanes, sweetbreads and chinchulines. Malaya (matambre) marinated with mustard, pepper, salt and lemon. It has enough structure and acidity to counterbalance fatty dishes.
