WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marea Syrah is crafted from selected grapes grown in Luis Felipe Edwards' estate vineyards in the Leyda Valley. The winemaking process for previous vintages involved fermentation in open-top tanks, a technique that aids in developing the wine's structure and flavor profile. Following fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees, contributing to its texture and complexity. While specific details for the 2023 vintage, such as yeast strains or precise fermentation temperatures, are not publicly disclosed, the overall approach emphasizes capturing the cool-climate character of the Leyda Valley. Hand-harvesting, as noted for a previous vintage, indicates a commitment to grape quality.
