ABOUT THIS WINE
Dogma is the premium line of the historic Chilean estate Viña Aromo, located in the heart of the Maule Valley. Established in 1922, Viña Aromo has over a century of winemaking history. In the early 2000s, Chief Winemaker Jimena Egaña teamed up with the Henríquez family to design the Dogma portfolio, aiming to defy standard boundaries and create premium, unconventional blends. Viña Aromo was a pioneer in the region, being the first to plant Marselan in the Maule Valley and the first in Chile to commercially release a Marselan-Carmenère blend.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are 100% hand-harvested from estate-owned plots in the Maule Valley, such as El Pilar and Santa Margarita, which feature deep alluvial soils and massive diurnal temperature shifts. After a cold soak maceration (5 days for Marselan, 3 days for Carmenère), fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains rich in polysaccharides to round out tannins. Following post-fermentation maceration, 100% of the malolactic fermentation occurs in contact with wood. The wine is then aged for 12 months in a combination of 60% French and 40% American oak barrels.
