The “Secreto” range of wines has a closely guarded secret related to land, proportions, and balance. Art and terroir have come together to create these wines in which the varieties have much to express. The result is a line of blended wines made with a primary varietal component that is recognized and indicated on the label complemented by a closely guarded “secret blend” of up to 15% in each of these. Most of the Secreto wines are made with grapes from young vineyards, which helps create a fresh and fruity style. The Syrah grapes to make this wine come from the El Olivar, located close to Peralillo in the Colchagua Valley. The vineyard has an average of 13 years old.
