Vibrant Pinot Noir flagship red with cherry, raspberry, herbs and spice notes, signature elegance and freshness. Cold climate from Humboldt current, clay-loam soils on draining granite.
The wine region of Aconcagua
Chilean valley at the foot of the highest summit of the Americas (6,960 m), hot dry climate tempered by Pacific breezes, altitude vineyards up to 1,600 m. Signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king: powerful with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, cedar, tobacco and peppery touch, firm tannins and exceptional ageing — home of Errazuriz (1870) and great Chileans (Sena, Don Maximiano). Dense Syrah, spiced Carmenere and supple Merlot as complements.
The word of the wine: Alcoholic fermentation
Transformation of sugars into alcohol under the effect of yeast. These yeasts exist in their natural state in the vineyards and in the cellars. Artificial seeding with selected yeasts is however very often practiced.
