Chile

After being on the brink of extinction in 1965, this variety, a native grape of the French Rhône Valley, has seen a steady increase in its production to the point where it now stands as competition for the ever-classic Chardonnay. This is an aromatic wine, delicate in mouth but also characterful, with intense flavor -mostly defined by its apricot and peach notes- and low acidity.

Aging6 months in stainless steel tanks, 60% of the blend; the remaining 40% was fermented and aged in small French oak barrels.
