Exceptional Vinification Process
Crafted with precision, this Carmenere undergoes alcoholic fermentation at temperatures between 27°C and 29°C. This careful process enhances its vibrant color and robust structure. The wine is then subjected to malolactic fermentation, adding depth and complexity to its flavor profile. To perfect the aging process, it spends 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, with a mix of first, second, and third uses. This meticulous method ensures a harmonious blend of aging and vibrant characteristics from the vineyard.
Refined Cleaning and Filtering
Once the ideal blend is achieved, the wine is gently rinsed and stabilized at low temperatures. This step, conducted with precision and patience, preserves the wine’s natural qualities while ensuring clarity and smoothness in every sip.
