The Vineyard

Los Vascos vineyards are located at the foot of the Coastal Range, in one of the coolest areas of the Colchagua Valley, thanks to the influence of the Pacific Ocean.

The grapes come from proprietary plots located on loamy-clay soils with volcanic tuff, contributing structure, freshness, and mineral complexity.

The 2022 vintage was marked by moderate rainfall, a cool spring, and a stable summer that allowed for optimal ripening and magnificent fruit balance.

Winemaking

Winemaking follows the traditional Bordeaux method.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 25 and 27 ºC.

Subsequently, a maceration of between 10 and 15 days is carried out with gentle pump-overs to encourage delicate extraction of color and tannins.

Aging is carried out in cement vats, seeking to preserve the fruit character and natural freshness of the wine.
