Canto de Apalta winemaking philosophy remains very natural with minimal intervention through the winemaking process. The key points are 100% hand harvesting, strict fruit selection by 100% of optical state of the art grape selection, Vistalys. All fermentations were made with wild yeast. Canto de Apalta is a red blend that enhances the main characteristics of each grape into a symphony of the components; from Carmenère, its roundness and spicy expression; from Merlot, its red fruit and acidity; from Cabernet Sauvignon, its complexity and elegant structure; and from Syrah, its exuberant and attractive aromas. This vintage is a blend of 28% of Carmenère, 27% of Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% of Merlot and 21% of Syrah. 62% of the blend was aged for 11 months in a mix of new (5%) and used French oak barrels (85%). 38% of the blend was aged on stainless steel tanks to keep a fresh fruit component. There is no clarification and a very light filtration, in our quest of creating natural wines and not disturbs the natural balance.
