Vinification Details.

Destemmed, not crushed but cold soaked for 48h before being inoculated with yeast. Fermentation in small stainless tanks for 7 days when the cap was hand plunged 3 times a day. Post-fermentation maceration on skins for 14 days, before pressing. Malolactic fermentation & ageing in barrels.

Producer Information

Laid back New Zealander Brett Jackson is very much settled in Chile - although he hasn't lost his lifelong affection for the All Blacks - and much of Valdivieso's success in recent years has been down to his efforts. Based in Lontue, the company has a wealth of vineyards and the quality of the terroir is shown by the Single Vineyard wines. The whole range encapsulates everything that Chile excels at: rich, vibrant flavours and smooth, glossy textures - and the wines deserve the multitude of gongs they have picked up in recent years.
