Region: Chile / Valle del Aconcagua

Type: Medium-bodied red wine

Winemaking:
Harvest: The grapes are selected from vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley, and are harvested by the end of April.
Vinification: Grapes are crushed and deposited in stainless steel tanks for their fermentation.
Aging: 70% of the wine is aged for seven months in French oak barrels to allow rounder tannins and a good texture on the palate. Once the final blend is completed, it is stabilized and filtered before bottling.

Tasting Notes:
Color: Ruby-red color with a high layer of violet hints.
Nose: Red pepper notes, with some sweet tones reminiscent of figs and cranberry, all framed by toasted notes and some clove.
Palate: The palate is spicy, with notes of black fruits, figs, graphite and red pepper. A wine whose structure and texture highlight the typical appearance of the variety with fine-grained tannins, with a very smooth and pleasant palate.

Food pairing: Red meats, especially lamb, pastas and cheeses.

Serving temperature: 15-18 °C.
