100% Pinot Noir grown on alluvial soils over clay and gravel. The canopies are lush and protect the delicate pinot from the sunny summers of the Cholqui Valley. Weeks before harvest, the canopies are trimmed to optimize the grape cluster maturity and then picked by hand. The wine is aged 6 months in French oak casks before release.
A wine of deep red color with some violet hues. The nose shows black pepper and cloves aromas, with god spiciness. Some coffee and mocca notes in perfect harmony with berries and currants, giving the feel of an elegant well balanced wine. Nicely balanced in the mouth, with dark plum flavors and abundant spice. It is very elegant, soft and silky. Displays good amount of vanilla, coffee and wood grain, which males it complex but fruit driven. It is ideal to accompany red meats, game pieces and strong cheeses. Vineyard After years working with this variety and its full expression in the Cholqui soils, we have been selecting the best lots for the production of this wine. With poor soils and yields of 8 Tons per hectare, the vineyard management is almost not needed. Vinification The grapes are picked by hand in April, offering good concentration, nice flavors and aromas, with soft and velvety tannins. The wine is racked in barrels and aged for better structure and softer character. It is bottled unfiltered to keep all the body and expression of it.
