Grape: Camenere, Petit Verdot
Region: Colchagua Valley, Chile
Dietary: Vegan
Winemaking: All grapes were hand harvested. Fruit underwent cold soaking for seven days to extract aroma and colour, before fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 12-15 days. Following this, the wine is kept in contact with the skins to enhance structure and colour, with daily tastings taking place to determine when the wine is ready. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels (80% new and 20% a year old) for 18 months. 8% Petit Verdot was added to the final blend to add spice, structure, colour and acidity.
