Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère 2019

The season began with a winter with mild temperatures and rainfall close to 320 mm in Apalta. Irrigation began later in the season thanks to a cool, rainy spring, which allowed us to reserve water for the summer period. In the Colchagua Valley, the summer was dry, with no rains that could harm the health of the grapes, and warm but without excesses that could damage the vines or grapes. Thanks to conditions of controlled hydric stress between fruit set and pint, the size of the berries was limited, achieving a good skin-to-pulp ratio, allowing to obtain an extraordinary color, concentration, rich tannins and very good aromas. For the red harvest, the weather was tremendously favorable, although we expected early harvests, the months of March and April were cool, which brought the phenological stages ready, allowing a harvest without problems. There were no rain events in March or April, which allowed us to wait for full phenolic maturity without the presence of diseases that affect the quality of the wine. In short, it was not a year with damaging weather events, so the health and quality of the grapes gave us clean musts with great potential. In the Colchagua Valley, maturity was reached without delay. The Carmenère ripened slowly but the expected result was achieved thanks to the long dry season typical of the Valley and ideal for this variety.

An intense purplish-ruby red color with an expressive, perfumed nose featuring aromas of fresh red and black fruits, along with warm notes of red peppers, nutmeg, tobacco, and coffee. The palate is balanced with fresh acidity. The tannins are perfectly rounded and lend structure and volume to the wine's long finish.

• 47% aged in oak barrels for 10 months.
• Generous palate with rounded tannins. Elegant and juicy with persistence.
