The vintage
2018 offered optimal weather conditions. The season started with average rainfall in winter and spring, which provided favorable conditions for bud break and fruit onset. Minimum temperatures were mild throughout the season, and luckily we didn’t suffer any frost episode. The main characteristic of the summer was that temperatures remained slightly below average, which allowed grapes to ripen slowly. This factor, combined with a great after season with no precipitations, was determining for the harvest timing that started rather late once the grapes had developed fully and reached optimal phenolic ripeness.
Varietal
Carménère : 100%
Tasting
Beautiful, bright ruby red color. The nose is expressive, with aromas of ripe blackberry, sour cherry, myrtle, black and pink pepper combined with the typical savoury notes of Carmenère such as grilled eggplant, tomato, red and green bell pepper and green olive. The palate offers round and ripe tannins with great structure and good balance.
