VINTAGE
Special irrigation and canopy
management reflect in the
final quality of the wine.
We controlled the amount of
water applied, especially
during hot and dry weather,
in order to achieve the ripeness
and maturity desired in the
variety. Vine exposure to
sunlight was improved by opening
the canopy along the rows.
At harvest, the grapes were
distinctive in color intensity,
acid balance and sugar content.
WINEMAKING
Alcoholic fermentation was
conducted for almost 40 days
in stainless steel tanks where
we allowed the juice to be
slowly transformed into wine.
Low temperatures and an extended
post-maceration period with
the yeast was key in building
complexity, maximizing the
aromas and providing sound
structure. A small portion
of the lot was separately
aged for about 4 month in
new French oak before blending.

COMMENTS
Light gold in appearance with
aromas of ripe fruit, melon,
pineapple and herbs. On the
palate, it is succulent, with
a candy-like taste, accompanied
by hints of peach. It finishes
dry and warm, yet fruity,
showing vanilla, caramel and
toasty character. Well balanced,
with sufficient richness and
acidity to carry through the
finish, this wine will pair
with smoked foods, lobster,
fish and creamy salads.
