Wine in Aconcagua Valley

Sauvignon Blanc VINEYARDS Appellation: Aconcagua Costa The grapes for our Max Reserva Sauvignon Blanc were sourced from the Manzanar vineyard, located barely 12 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. The vines are planted at an altitude that varies between 330 and 660 feets above sea level, in 2005. Soils have thin layer of loamy soil, placed on a stratum of clay and metamorphic rock (slate/schist), providing the minerality in our coastal wines. These unique conditions are ideal for growing cold-climate varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc. VINTAGE NOTES The 2013-2014 growing season was moderately warm, with low yields and lower than average rainfall in the winter months followed by a dry spring. Budbreak was delayed due to a cold spell in mid September. Cool growing conditions had the beneficial effect of the extended hang time and slow ripening of the grapes enabling them to preserve fresh character, aromatic intensity and beautiful mineral notes. WINEMAKING NOTES Grapes were hand picked in the early morning and carefully transported to the winery, where they are destemmed, crushed and pressed to best preserve their natural acidity. Juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on the lees for 3 months to enhance texture and volume in the palate. TASTING NOTES Juicy and lush with citrus aromas such as lime and grapefruit are complemented with floral notes. The palate is tense, with a notable acidity that is refreshing and nervy. Medium-bodied and well structured, with a mineral mouthfeel and long, memorable finish.

This Pinot is grown on a single parcel only 16 Km from the Pacific Ocean. The sandy soil lies on a clay bed, providing the roots with 30cm of well-drained soil to explore and a block of clay to keep the water supply during the summer. The cool coastal breeze allows grapes to ripen gently and to produce the distinctive fruitiness of Coastal Aconcagua wines.

Parcela #7 has the qualities missing in so many modern wines. It has a subtle red currant and redberry-scented bouquet with touches of sous-bois, hazelnut and aromatic herbs that are very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and pure red berry fruit mixed with black peppe, sage and cured meats. It is very well-balanced and fresh, the finish supple and in tune with the oak. A wine to drink and drink...

Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard The grapes for our 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva come from our vineyards located in the Maipo and Aconcagua valleys. The Maipo Valley is known for the fresh morning breezes that blow from the mountains, and for the moderate day temperatures that allow the grapes to reach perfect ripeness preserving their acidity and freshness. One of the main factors that allow obtaining intense colours in the wines from this area is the large temperature oscillation. The alluvial soils are moderately fertile and have a stony profile that provides excellent drainage, producing a perfect balance of vegetative growth and fruit load. The Aconcagua Valley, on the other hand, is well known for its Mediterranean climate, with moderately warm summer days and fresh evening breezes, producing a daily temperature oscillation of around 20ºC in the weeks prior to harvest. This triggers high concentrations of polyphenols –anthocyanins- creating wines with great colour intensity. The soils of the vineyard are mainly of alluvial origin, formed by the Aconcagua River, and are generally well known for their good drainage
