Tasting note
Vibrant and fresh fresh, with lots of red fruit and cassis accompanied by notes of tobacco leaf, cedar and violets.
Viticulture
A family estate of Italian heritage, pioneered Chilean wine by being the first to bottle and export Carmenere. In 2011, Marcel Retamal shifted to early harvests, spontaneous fermentation and no new oak, influencing others. Voted “Winery of the Year” 3 times, they produce award-winning wines from various terroirs and varietals, pushing innovation in Chile.
Vinification
100% destemmed. A wild ferment in stainless steel was followed by 5 days post-ferment maceration. The malolactic fermentation was completed in the tank. Then the wine was matured in 2,500-litre foudres for 24 months.
Food Match
A wide variety of red meats, such as beef, pastas, pizzas and cheeses.
