AGING:

9 months in French oak barrels.

VINEYARD:

The Peumo Vineyard is located 170 m above sea level and extends across the rolling hills along the Cachapoal River on the terraces of the Coastal Mountain Range. e vertically positioned and cordon-pruned vines come from pre-phylloxera vine stock. e deep soils have a top layer of clay that enables them to retain moisture and allows the vines to remain active until the harvest in late May. It also helps control plant vigor and growth.

SOIL:

Deep alluvial riverbench associated soils with a silty-clay texture.

WEATHER:

The microclimate in the Peumo Vineyard is highly infuenced by the Rapel River and Lake. This season began with a cold spring with frosts, but was followed by a warm summer. The weather remained dry throughout the harvest season, and that, along with the microclimate and infuence of the Rapel River and Lake, allowed grapes to ripen a few days earlier than in a normal year.
