Each year, the best batches of grapes are hand-selected on Isla de Maipo: a vineyard surrounded by mountains and the Maipo River. The wine goes through a long pre-fermentation maceration of 96 hours. The final blend is a selection of barrels made by the oenologist, which was aged for 12 months in American and French oak barrels . Concentrated and fruity , this wine presents complex aromas of raspberry , cherry , plum, blueberry , blackberry , blackcurrant , black pepper , tobacco and cocoa associated with subtle vegetal and mineral notes. Seductive on the palate, this wine is carried by supple and melted tannins which provide a persistent and delicious finish.

Where are we traveling?

Central Valley The Central Valley (El Valle Central) of Chile is one of the most important wine-growing regions in South America in terms of volume but also in terms of distance. It extends from the Maipo Valley (just south of Santiago) to the southern end of the Maule Valley. This distance of almost 400 km covers several types of climate and in this vast region we find a wide variety of styles and qualities of wine, coming from many different terroirs. The sub-region: Maipo Valley Close to the capital Santiago, the Maipo Valley is the cradle of grape growing in Chile and the best-known wine-growing region. The climate is dry Mediterranean with maximum temperatures of 33°C in summer. The nights are cool at less than 15°C and the temperature range between day and night is on average 18°C. The terrain is mountainous and the climate is influenced by altitude and irrigation rich in oxygen and minerals from snowmelt water. The Maipo Valley is renowned for its quality reds, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. With a very distinct terroir, each wine produced here has a truly unique personality.

The little history of the country

Chile

It was Hernán Cortés who ordered, upon the conquest of Mexico, the cultivation of vines in 1524. It gradually extended from Mexico southwards to reach Chile in 1555. During the first 3 centuries of colonization, there was no Cultivated in Chile as país, a black grape variety without character and very productive. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that noble varieties were introduced: mainly cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. Twenty years later, winemaking was modernized under the leadership of wealthy owners and French experts who were forced into unemployment by phylloxera in Europe. Chile stretches 4,300 kilometers from north to south. It is wedged between the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Atacama Desert to the north, the Patagonian plains and glaciers to the south. These natural barriers prevented phylloxera from entering the country. Although the country is only 160 kilometers wide, it has ideal conditions for growing warm, intermediate and cool grape varieties, so much so that it is often described as a paradise for growing grapes. With nearly 300 properties producing bottled wines, Chile fluctuates between 6th and 8th place in the world.
