Carmenere

DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN: Peumo Vineyard, banks of the Cachapoal River, D.O. Peumo, Cachapoal Valley.,

AGING:

12 months in French oak barrels and froudres. (27% new and 73% second-use).

VINEYARD:

The Peumo Vineyard is located at an altitude of 170 masl and extends along the Cachapoal River, on terraces of the Coastal Mountain Range. The vines were produced through massal selection from pre-phylloxera genetic material and are VSP-trained. The soils are deep and the top layer is clay, which retains moisture, enabling the vines to remain active until late May when the Carmenère is harvested. This soil also helps control the vine's vigour and growth.

SOIL:

The soil is associated with the riverbank, being alluvial in origin with clay and loam. The clay lends good moisture retention, which contributes to the grapes ripening well and is perfect for controlling vigour.

WEATHER:

The Mediterranean climate has a prolonged dry season. Influenced by the Cachapoal River, and the Rapel Lake, the temperatures are moderate, with warm days and temperate nights. The 2022 season was cool and perfect for growing vines. There was a little rain in late January, making the environment cooler and more humid.
