It also goes very nicely with ripe cheeses, salami, ham, and pastrami. The Central Valley vitivinicultural zone extends from the Maipo Valley in the north to the Maule Valley in the south. The entire zone has good drainage, high fertility, and tremendous agricultural aptitude, especially for red grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and others. The Mediterranean climate has warm summers with broad daily oscillations between daytime and night time temperatures, and cold, rainy winters that allow for good vine development. The soils are of alluvial origin with moderate depth, and good for agriculture. The grapes were hand picked in mid- April and submitted to a week-long pre-fermentation cold soak at 8ºC (46ºF) to extract fresh fruit characteristics. Alcoholic fermentation took place at 25º–28ºC with daily pump-overs. The new wine remained on its skins for a period, after which the free run wine was separated from its skins and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally. Part of this wine was aged in oak barrels for 6 months and later reblended to achieve a more complex character.Suitable for Vegetarians and VegansThis wine is Organic.

"Wonderfully seductive
aromatics of violets and lilac, lush ripe red and black berry fruits and a
creamy, bruléed top note of brown toast and roasted coffee beans. The
palate texture is simply drop dead gorgeous with a cool, fleshy, dreamy harmony
of tart black plum, black cherry, black currant, salty black liquorice and a
subtle leafy sapidity on the finish that adds plenty of interest."
Shiraz delivers deep plum, mulberry, and liquorice with
concentrated depth and velvety tannins. Grenache adds lush
raspberry, blueberry, and floral charm. White pepper notes from
both varieties shine in the cooler vintage, offering intrigue.
Mourvedre brings an elegant restraint, red fruits, dried herb hints,
and fine chalky tannins. A symphony of flavours and textures.The grapes used in this wine are mostly from very old bush vines
from around the McLaren Vale region.
