With a straw-yellow colour, clean and bright, the wine has an expressive and fresh nose that highlights white fruit aromas including pear and peach, accompanied by subtle honey
notes that lend complexity and character. The palate is fresh and balanced with a lot of
textures and layers that add volume and a long finish.

Fruit from the San Carlos de Cunaco, Colchagua Valley - San Carlos vineyard. The vine’s average age is 21 years. Soils are alluvial in origin and sandy-clay texture. The soil is deep and extraordinarily porous with very good drainage, and expandable clay that is able to administer the delivery of water to the plant throughout the year.

The vineyard density is 2,900 plants/hectare. The vines are trellised to low vertical shoot position and cane pruned. Shoots are pulled in the spring and early summer, and leaves are lightly pulled to ventilate the bunches while keeping the grapes protected to maximise
freshness and natural acidity.

Grapes were pressed directly. Alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel
tanks over the course of approximately 3 weeks at 16–20ºC. 80% of the wine fermented in contact with French oak staves. The new wine was then held on its fine lees for approximately 10 months with periodic stirring to increase silkiness and volume on the palate.

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