Variety
100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Origin
this wine is made with Viña San Pedro’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Maipo Valley. The vineyards are planted on well-drained and thin alluvial soils and are trained to low vertical shoot position with controlled drip irrigation.
Harvest
The grapes were hand picked during the last week of April. Vineyard’s yield was 7.2 tons/ha.
Vinification
Cold maceration for five days. Grapes are then fermented with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures of 82°–84°F (28°–29°C) with five pump-over per day. Total tank time was 30 to 35 days. 100% of the blend was aged for 12 months in French (95%) and American (5%) oak barrels, half of which were new, and the remaining 50% were second use.
