WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sourced from select vineyards in Chile's Central Valley, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to balance the variety's natural herbal notes with rich fruit character. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant primary fruit aromas. A portion of the wine undergoes brief aging with oak alternatives to add subtle structure, vanilla, and spice without overpowering the grape's natural profile.
