WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gato Negro Cabernet Sauvignon involves fermenting 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. This method is employed to preserve the wine's primary fruit characteristics. A portion of the wine may undergo partial aging on its lees, which contributes to a rounder texture and softness in the final wine. The grapes are sourced from the Central Valley, benefiting from its climate and soil conditions. The winery adheres to Certified Sustainable Wines of Chile practices.
