DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN: El Mariscal Vineyard, D.O. Puente Alto, Alto Maipo Valley.,

AGING:

16 months in French oak barrels. (60% new and 40% used).

VINEYARD:

The El Mariscal Vineyard has an altitude of 650 m.a.s.l., in the foothills of the Andes and along the northern bank of the Maipo River. The vineyard consists of pre-phylloxera vines along a vertical trellis. Its alluvial soil is lacking in nutrients and highly permeable due to the number of loose stones found in the subsoil. It produces fairly weak and slow-growing vines with concentrated and mature bunches.

SOIL:

Third alluvial terrace of Puente Alto, large content of round stones measuring around 50-70cm. Excellent drainage.

WEATHER:

The semi-arid Mediterranean climate is highly influenced by the Andes Mountains. The vineyard is located in the coldest region of the Maipo Valley, with a variation of around 18°C between daily high and low temperatures. This leads to a longer grape maturation time and a concentration and intensification of their aromas.
