Vineyard & Winemaking Notes
the grapes are 100% estate grown from the bisquertt vineyards of las garzas, chomedahue, lihueimo, rinconada, casas viejas, el rulo, and trinidad. each vineyard has their own distinctive micro-climate contributing subtle nuances and complexity. the colchagua valley is heavily influenced by its close proximity to the pacific ocean, resulting in cool nights and dry sunny days creating the optimal growing conditions. the soils are alluvial with excellent drainage. the wine is stainless steel fermented, cold stabilized and filtered before bottling.
