The grapes were hand harvested in April 2011 from Peñasco Vineyards from Valle de Loncomilla The grapes growing from small blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon 20 years old and Carmenere and Syrah of 15 years old vines. The grapes were transported to the winery and selected prior to the crushing. the fermentation took place in a small stainless steel tank with a total maceration period of 28 days. the skins were gently pressed and malolactic fermentation took place naturally. The wine was blended with the another varietals components and then was aged in new French oak barrels for a period of 14 months. After the bottling the wine rest in our cellars for a period of 6 months before released. the wine wasn’t cold-stabilized to preserve his exceptional quality.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS:
Our Limited Edition presents a deep ruby red color. Its well developed bouquet is an elegant combination of cherry aromas with a light touch of black currant liqueur mingle with cassis, dry plums, sweet candied fruit and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate the wine is rich and juicy, with supple tannins, a hint of spicy oak, wide and soft, with delicate flavors that remember black tea leaves and leather. A perfect combination of fruit and oak takes us into a long and balanced ending.
