Dagaz Tierras De Pumanque

Blend: 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 8% Carménère, 6% Syrah

Location: Colchagua Valley

Alcohol: 14.5% ABV

Tasting Note: The intensity of aromas on the nose presents black and red fruits and a great mineral content coming from the granite that constitutes the soil. In the mouth richness is allied to elegance, soft tannins, and a fine acidity that keeps things fresh & vibrant and the finish is long, multi-layered, and expansive. Complex and with notable structure from the tannins suggesting cellaring potential, delicious now but likely to gain ever greater interest with time.

Vinification: Sourced from the Pumanque vineyard which is located 34 km from the Pacific Ocean in a straight line, at an altitude of 238 m.a.s.l. The soil here is composed of granite, with large amounts of quartz stones with different degrees of fragmentation. It is deep and permeable, which allows good root growth. The harvest took place between March 18 and April 5, beginning with Syrah, then Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and ending with Carmenere. In the winery, bunches and berries were selected, followed by a cold soaking of 8 days at 7°C. Aging for 17 months in French oak barrels 9% new and 91% used to have aromas and flavours of oak that serve only as a complement to the freshness, energy and expression of the “terroir” of the wine.
