This wine is born from non-traditional stocks in Chile: Petit Verdot, an unusual wine that offers new, exclusive experiences for the senses from the very first taste. The production of this wine was the year 2013 with a delayed harvest, starting mid April. Some slight rains during the ripening season helped maintain a cool weather and the fruit’s high acidity. Spring was very cold, and brought heavy frosts which directly influenced the late ripening of the stock. These grapes grow and ripen on vineyards planted on slopes, with granitic ground, with northeast exposition and under a strict management of the vineyard.
