Colchagua Valley

The great "El Tatio" takes its name from the most famous geysers in the Altiplano Massif, symbolising the explosion of fruit and sensations provoked by this wine.
" El Tatio" is produced by the strictest selection of Altiplano vines from the Colchagua and Apalta "terroirs", celebrated for their exceptional red wines.
With yields of less than 40 hl per hectare, this cru produces around 20,000 bottles, each year, of dense, complex and highly aromatic wine, a wine of great finesse blended from Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (15%), Carménère (10%) and Petit Verdot (5%).

Average age of the vines: 30 years

Grape harvesting: picked by hand, in small baskets, at full ripeness in the fresh early-morning temperature

Vinification: pre-fermentative cold maceration, fermentation and maceration for around 26 days, casked prior to malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, matured on the lees without racking, 18 to 20 months in barrels, with 75 to 100% in new barrels.

Tasting notes: intense and brilliant ruby colour; complex on the nose, red and black fruit, slightly exotic, delicately woody; elegant, powerful and well-balanced in the mouth, with very mellow tannins, well-rounded and refreshing, with excellent length.
