Vineyard
The grapes are sourced from low-yielding, double Guyot-trained vines on the Liguai Estate, located in the Maipo Valley’s ‘Maipo-Andes’ subregion. Situated at 440–520 metres above sea level, the vineyard sits in the mountain foothills with alluvial soils of low fertility. Drip irrigation is employed, and harvest is carried out entirely by hand once the grapes reach optimal maturity, ensuring exceptional quality and concentration.

Winemaking
After hand-picking, the grapes are carefully selected before being crushed into stainless steel tanks. Fermentation occurs over seven days at controlled temperatures of 23–27°C, with 15 days of skin contact. Daily pump-overs are adjusted based on tastings to achieve precise extraction of colour, tannins, and flavour. The wine undergoes an additional six-day maceration before being racked into French oak barrels for 14 months’ maturation, with 15% new oak enhancing structure and complexity.

Tasting Notes
An opulent and aromatic Carmenère with pronounced notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and a hint of mint, layered with mocha, subtle spice, and fine herbal nuances. The palate is elegant and complex, with supple tannins and a savoury, lingering finish, reflecting the unique terroir of Maipo Alto.

Grape Variety
94% Carmenère, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon
