Albariño

The vintage

A winter with temperatures above average allowed for early budburst. Spring was cold compared to the relatively warm early summer. Temperatures then returned to average and stabilized.

Location

The grapes come from our estate in Peralillo, located at the end of the Colchagua Valley, 40 kilometers from the sea. Years of experimentation with different varieties of white grapes have allowed us to develop specific viticultural practices for the planting and cultivation of this variety, where the presence of a sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean generates a thermal oscillation between day and night of 20°C, contributing to maintaining the freshness and typical characteristics of this variety. The plots are located in the flat part of the vineyard, with soils of medium to high depth and finer texture.

Terroir

Soils of medium to high depth, with a loamy clay texture.

Winemaking

The grapes are destemmed, cooled, and deposited into the presses, where they macerate for 8 hours. After maceration, the must is drained, and pressing begins. Under constant monitoring, the cut-off the pressing is evaluated and decided based on tasting parameters and analysis. The must is protected from oxygen to preserve its characteristic aromas. After cold settling, which takes place between 4 and 7°C, the must is kept with its lees in a cold room for 2 weeks. It is fermented at low temperature (12-15°C) and stored in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting

The color is a pale greenish-yellow.
The nose offers fruity aromas of white peach and citrus, accompanied by gentle floral notes of jasmine. As it opens up, exotic notes of passion fruit and guava emerge.
On the palate, the aromas become more intense, the acidity is refreshing and well-balanced with a saline touch and good persistence.
