Winemaking Notes: Destemmed, cold soaked for two days, fermentation for 20 days with commercial yeast, fined and filtered Tasting Notes: Expressive and elegant on the nose with generous white flowers aromas. Fresh, firm and round on the palate, this wine has an excellent balance between ripe tropical fruits and vibrant acidity.
Valley Information: Colchagua is the southernmost portion of the Rapel Valley; generally, it is the region that has garnered the top scores and press for its powerful yet balanced red wines. The majority of the wineries are concentrated in the center of the valley (Entre Cordillera), although the pioneers are looking towards the Andes (e.g. Los Lingues) and at the coastal areas (e.g. Paredones) to find new cool-climate terroir.
90 points (2013 vintage) International Wine Cellar, 2/14
"Green-tinged straw. High-pitched aromas of lemon, lime zest, dusty minerals and white flowers. Sappy and nicely concentrated, with very good focus to its flavors of citrus fruits, honeysuckle and anise. Closes bright, focused and long, with repeating mineral and floral notes."
