Top Trends 2024

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.

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: 100% Tannat Location: Las Violetas Alcohol: 12% ABV Tasting Note: Beautiful rose-pink colour. The nose is truly inviting, packed as it is with red fruits like strawberry and cherry. The exuberant fruit continues on the palate, highlighted by a creamy mousse. Fresh and flavoursome with an intense mid-palate and moreish finish. Vinification: Macerated for 2 hours and then fermented, without any additions, for 22 days. The wine is racked and bottled at the very end of fermentation so it completes the process in the bottle. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Fresh salads, sea food, sushi, desserts.

Blend: 100% Muscat Ottonel Location: Las Violetas Alcohol: 9% ABV Tasting Note: Floral lift on the nose with complex spice and notes of rosemary and white peach; fresh on the palate, the acidity driving things along with further herbal, citrus and greengage fruit flavours. Vinification: Grapes are directly pressed, then spontaneous fermentation occurs in concrete tanks. In the final stages of fermentation, the temperature is lowered and the wine is racked and bottled. Fermentation is completed in the bottle over approximately 20 days. The wine is unfiltered and unfined. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Ceviche, all kind of seafood, salad with citrus or fruits.
