CLIMATE : The vinyard has a generally semi arid Mediterranean climate with an average annual rainfall of 350mm. It corresponds to one of the coldest zones in the Alto Maipo Valley. Temperatures had dropped by harvest time, which resulted in grapes with excellent fruit expression and ripeness.

AGING : 15 months in French oak Barrels 

AGING POTENTIAL : More than 35 years
