Maturation

The base of this 2020 harvest is Carménère planted in 1945 in Lower Wine Parcel 4 and aged 12 months in a new 4,000-liter untoasted Austrian Stockinger foudre. The remaining 10% is a Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1956 from the “La Alfalfa” Wine Parcels and aged in a 800-liter Concrete Egg. Once the final blend is determined, we allow the components to integrate for six months and then taste the wine again.Then come the "final touches". This year we added 200 liters of an exceptional Syrah aged in clay amphora. This wine was bottled with no stabilizing, filtering, or added c hemical products (except for a low dose of sulfur before bottling).

Tasting notes

An elegant expression of Carménère with red berries, plums, tobacco and a hint of coffee on the nose. Medium-bodied and svelte with good layers of fruit and fine, silky tannins. JAMES SUCKLING
