Vine Age Five Merlot vineyards averaged 31 years; four Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, one Cabernet Franc vineyard and one Carménère vineyard averaged 32 years
Bottling Date August 2025
Production Details The detailed vintage sheet says grapes were hand-picked from 11 vineyards, coded and cold-stored, then individually selected, washed in three soaking tanks and thoroughly dried. The clusters were destemmed above the vat so berries entered by gravity. Skin contact lasted 21 days for Merlot, Carménère and Cabernet Franc and 22 days for Cabernet Sauvignon, with temperature control, punch-downs and daily gravity-fed pump-overs. Warm wine was transferred to small oak barrels; after mid-winter malolactic fermentation, lots were blended and aged in oak and stainless steel for approximately 23 months. Gravity bottling used long-nozzle fillers, with no sulphites added at that stage, followed by at least four months in bottle. At bottling, volatile acidity was 0.41 g/L and total sulphur dioxide was below 66 mg/L.

Skin contact lasted 20 days for Merlot, Carménère and Cabernet Franc and 21 days for Cabernet Sauvignon; fermentation and maceration used temperature control, punch-downs and daily gravity-fed pump-overs. Warm wine was transferred to small oak barrels, underwent malolactic fermentation, and the assembled wine aged in oak and stainless steel for approximately 23 months. It was gravity bottled with no sulphites added at that stage and received at least five months of bottle ageing. At bottling, volatile acidity was 0.44 g/L and total sulphur dioxide was below 43 mg/L.
