Limited Release is composed of wines specially selected by the winery winemaker team. A special line, gathering wines of a unique personality and perfect equilibrium product of their slow ripening in French oak barrels. This Cabernet Sauvignon wine comes from the Curicó Valley. The temperate weather of the valley gives acidity to the Cabernet Sauvignon keeping it alive, as fresh fruit with an unbeatable color, providing our wine with complexity. Each hectare yields between 9 and 12 grape tonnes per crop, which usually starts in April to end in May. Harvesting is carried out by hand. Once in the cellar, the fermentation process starts in stainless steel tanks at 25 to 27º C. About 70% of the wine is moved to oak barrels, of different uses, for malolactic fermentation, thus achieving a good balance with the berries. The wine is kept in the barrels for 8 to 10 months.
