Winemaking Details:
Grapes are hand-harvested from the El Alto Vineyard in Ugarteche, located at 1,050 meters above sea level. After destemming and soft crushing, the grapes undergo a cold pre-fermentative maceration to preserve their primary aromas. Fermentation begins traditionally, followed by a 10-15 day post-fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation is carried out after maceration. The wine is then aged to develop its smooth and complex character.
