July, 2010.- Highlighting with renewed strength Viña San Pedro’s name at the exclusive Elqui Valley, this winery is launching a new Ultra Premium wine, baptized in honor to a mountain renowned for its cosmic intensity, capable to attract as well as irradiate positive energies to people and the native nature in that zone. Kankana del Elqui Solar N°10, it’s a Syrah elaborated with the finest grapes grown in this special region. A pioneering and unrepeatable wine, gifted with an elegant spicy expression along soft mineral notes.
This wine is the result after four years of hard work done by San Pedro’s Chief Winemaker of Reserve and Premium Wines, Marco Puyo, who has dedicated lots of time and study to this winery’s vineyards at the Elqui.
Thanks to San Pedro’s pioneering Origin Project, that leads it to create quality wines stemming from unexplored lands and exclusive appellations, this winery discovered the lot number 10 within the Elqui Valley, a place where Syrah grapes mature exposed to the bright mineral glow of the Kankana Mountain, the cleanest skies in the planet and infinite stars, the cool ocean breezes and magical sunsets.
The protagonist of the magnetic phenomenon in this valley is the Kankana Mountain, which, in the Diaguitas language means “camp or cooking fire”, due to the burnt red color its peak acquires during the last light of every sunset. According to local inhabitants, the Kankana is like a great antenna, more than 4,000 meters high, that synchronizes the valley to the purest skies in the world and which thanks to its main component: iron oxide or magnetite, has become the Mystical Alter of the Elqui Valley.
Kankana del Elqui, Solar 10, San Pedro’s Ultra Premium born from the Elqui’s discovery and learning process. A sacred alter for Syrah.
