Production Details Grapes from Viña Tondonia vineyard. Excellent 2012 vintage - very dry year with 25% less rain than average. Harvest resulted in lower yields of very healthy grapes with excellent balance of alcohol and polyphenols. Fermented in old oak vats using indigenous yeasts. 6 years barrel aging in 225-litre American oak with hand racking twice yearly. Fined with fresh egg whites. Unfiltered. Bottled January 2022 after approximately 10 years post-harvest aging.
