WINE MAKING PROCESS
This wine is produced using organically grown grapes from the Central Valley of Chile. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation and skin maceration in stainless steel tanks. A portion of the wine, as seen in the 2023 vintage where 70% was aged for ten months in French oak barrels, is then matured to develop complexity and texture. Viña Cono Sur employs a philosophy rooted in sustainable viticulture and organic winemaking practices, incorporating natural methods for vineyard management.
