Deep-violet colour. The expressive nose is fruit-forward, with aromas of black fruit such as blackberry and calafate, accompanied by a subtle meaty note on the finish. The palate shows a balanced wine with nice concentration and rich acidity. The tannins are firm and fresh, leading to a long, mineral finish. 

Fruit from the El Olivar vineyward, near the town of Peralillo in the Colchagua Valley. The vineyard has an average age of 19 years.  The vineyard is located on a hillside with
a 6–15º slope. The very porous rocky-clay soil presents very fragmented rocky alterite and is highly colonised by roots

The vines are planted to density of 4,348 plants/hectare, trellised to low vertical shoot position, and are spur pruned. Shoots are pulled in the spring and early summer, and leaves are pulled manually in early March to ensure good ventilation for the grapes.
The grapes were harvested between March 15–April 7, 2022. 

The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed into a stainless steel tank, where they underwent a 3-day pre-fermentation cold soak at 8ºC for greater extraction of colour and aromas. Alcoholic fermentation took place with native yeasts at 26–28ºC with 3–4 short pump-overs per day to extract only the most elegant tannins and obtain the fruitiest and friendliest wine possible. Malolactic fermentation took place naturally in oak barrels.

85% Syrah... so what's the 15% secret in the blend?
