70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Viognier
This wine is a Mediterranean-inspired blend, born in the coastal terroir of the Maipo Valley. It comes from granite hillsides with decomposing rocks, a soil that provides minerality and character. The climate, with its morning fog due to the Pacific's influence, allows varieties like Grenache, Syrah, and Viognier to ripen slowly, developing intense aromatic complexity.
Manual harvesting is carried out at the optimal point for each variety, between March and April. The winemaking is creative, with a co-fermentation of Syrah and Viognier and a fermentation of Grenache with 30% whole cluster. Aging is done separately: 8 months for Grenache in used barrels and 12 months for Syrah-Viognier in French oak barrels (10% new).
Of intense purplish-red color, the wine is dominated by Grenache, with aromas of black fruits, violets, and a mineral touch, followed by notes of white pepper and plum compote. On the palate, it has great juiciness and body, where Syrah contributes structure, Grenache freshness, and Viognier a floral note. It is recommended to decant and serve between 15 and 16°C, being excellent for accompanying a Valencian paella or lamb chops with rosemary.
