Mainly product with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with a small part of Carmnre, from the vineyards of Haras de Pirque in the Maipo Valley, to tell this characteristic territory through a fascinating wine, characterized by herbaceous and spicy notes sustained by an extraordinary freshness, typical of the terroir.

The 2018 harvest in Pirque was considered a great season. It was of cool temperatures, which allows to intensify aromas and flavors.

Winemaking

It precedes alcoholic fermentation, a cold maceration for 3 to 5 days, to maximize its aromatic potential. After alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts, the wine was transferred to barrels where it matured for a period of 12 months.

A unique horseshoe-shaped design of the winery symbolizes the passion for fine blood horses. Due to their location at the foot of the hill, the fermentation ships have a marked unevenness that allows the grapes and musts to be processed by gravity, reducing the use of motor pumps and other equipment. This technique substantially prevents the risk of oxidation, milder tannins and the protection of the aromas and flavors of the wine.
