MERLOT

14,5 º

VINEYARD

At about 550 metres above sea level, this parcel is among those planted at our highest altitudes. It is also the most northerly parcel and is located on a north-facing slope, which allows the Merlot to ripen slowly. The parcel’s location and orientation prevent it from being affected by harsh sun and typical dehydration problems.

SOIL

Grown in poor, well-structured soils that are porous and have crop cover.

THE WINEMAKING PROCES

Mechanical night harvest in September. The fruit from each parcel is kept separate, resulting in distinct wines. Fermentation at 28ºC is followed by three weeks of maceration.

AGEING

Gravity is the basis for every move the wine makes until it is aged for twelve months in select barrels of French oak.
