Peumo

Black cherry, plum, dry leaves, green bell pepper, chocolate and spice meet a soft, plump palate with supple tannins and good length. The fruit grows in Rapel Valley, largely around Almahue in Peumo, on well-drained loamy alluvial soils. Half the wine completed malolactic fermentation in barrel and aged there for about six months; the rest completed malolactic fermentation in tank.

Raspberry, cherry, green pepper, dark chocolate and oak are present. The palate is medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity, a fresh, juicy mouthfeel, smooth tannins and a long finish. The Carménère comes from a small, low-yielding plot in Peumo with red clay above decomposing granite. Maturation lasts twelve months in French oak, including thirty-five percent new barrels.
