WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested from selected vineyards across the Valle Central. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright, primary fruit characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon. To achieve the 'Suave' (smooth/sweet) profile, the fermentation is arrested early to retain natural residual sugar, or a portion of sweet grape must is blended back. The wine undergoes minimal oak contact to keep the focus entirely on fresh fruit flavors and soft, rounded tannins.
