Production notes

Gravity settling. Fermentation with slight turbidity in concrete at different temperatures. Maturana Blanca at 15ºC for floral character and Tempranillo Blanco at 17ºC for complexity and structure on the palate. Aged on fine lees in concrete, amphora and 600-liter French casks. Blended and aged in 225-liter French oak barrels for 6 months, plus 12 months in bottle.

Tasting notes

Color: Medium intensity gold. Nose: Complex, with notes of stone fruit (peach and apricot), citrus (lime peel) and flowers. Wood is integrated and appears in the form of vanilla and spice. Palate: Refreshing acidity with medium body. Fantastic balance between acidity, fruit concentration and alcohol. The finish is long, with a pleasant texture that will improve in complexity over several years. Food pairing: Enjoy with white meats, truffled chicken, creamy cheeses like Gorgonzola and fatty fish or kokotxas.
