The Lolol vineyards from where this Malbec comes from are located in the coastal region of the Colchagua Valley. It is the Malbec vines which make this wine shine. The region enjoys of a Mediterranean climate: 600 mm rainfall per year concentrated in winter, moderate to high temperatures in summer moderated by the breeze that comes from the mountains in the morning and the ocean in the afternoon. It is a small valley surrounded by mountains from which the soils with decomposed granite originated, in variable depths depending on the slope. On the other hand the loamy sand texture provides the wine with its unique floral aromas. The yield on the vineyards is of 8 tonnes per hectare.

A cold 2013 spring in the Colchagua Valley of Chile did not affect the vineyard as it is accustomed to breezes that naturally cool the area throughout the year. Even ripening allowed the grapes to have great balance and strong flavours. It was a season of incredible elegance and the harvest during March 2014, bottled the 18th of March, 2014 and released in March 2015.
