LA CANCHA 2018 / CABERNET SAUVIGNON
The 2018 vintage from Maipo is of extraordinary quality because the summer ended cool and dry, which enabled the grapes in our vineyards to mature slowly until they were perfectly ripe. Thus, in this vintage, La Cancha reveals marked blue fruit and cassis aromas, with aromatic layers of spice, tobacco and an intense mineral note of graphite. The mouth is medium-bodied and intense and the fruit is balanced by dense, very fine tannins, accompanied by fresh acidity. The result is a wine with depth and weight in the mouth, while also tremendously agile. Very attractive now but it has the potential to evolve to full splendour over 15-20 years of ageing.
6,264 bottles and 100 magnums produced.

ALTO DE PIEDRAS 2018 / CARMENERE
The 2018 vintage in Maipo was one to remember, and excellent quality, because the summer ended cool and dry, which meant that the grapes ripened gradually until they were perfectly ripe. In this vintage, Alto de Piedras clearly showcases the spicy side of this variety with black pepper aromas along with black fruit - like blackberries - and a mineral note like wet stones. Medium-bodied with ripe fruit balanced by silky tannins, this wine slips smoothly across the palate and is accompanied by fresh acidity. With good intensity, this wine fills the mouth without being heavy and has a very long finish. Very attractive now but it has the potential to evolve to its full potential over 15-20 years of ageing.
11,460 bottles and 120 magnums produced.

LA BLANCA 2019 / SEMILLON
The 2019 season was relatively warm in Maipo and viticultural management and harvesting at the right time for the conditions were key to getting the positive results that we achieved. This first vintage of La Blanca has pronounced citrus and tropical fruit and honeyed notes. The palate is intensely fruity, which is perfectly balanced with the acidity, making the mouth broad and textured, but always fresh. The finish is very long. Drinking beautifully now but its structure means it has great ageing potential.

TRES VOLCANES 2018 / CHARDONNAY
In Malleco, the 2018 season was cooler than that of 2017, providing wines that are lighter, with intense fruit and pronounced acidity, but perfectly integrated. Tres Volcanes 2018 has a complex aromatic palate with marked notes of citrus fruit, green apple and hazelnuts. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creaminess that envelopes the palate and provides a smooth texture that is complemented by the ripe fruit. Fresh acidity adds length to the palate, making this wine feel agile and deep, with a very long finish. Drinking beautifully now but its structure means it has great ageing potential.

VIEJAS TINAJAS 2018 / CINSAULT
A fresh vintage for coastal Itata, which was affected by some rainfall in March. As a result, the harvest had to be brought forward a little in order to ensure perfectly healthy grapes. This is a smooth-textured and tremendously fresh wine with red fruit and a long finish. Vinification in amphorae contributes rich texture to the palate and results in a wine with tension, volume and smoothness and the potential to age for around 10 years.
10,800 bottles produced.

VIEJAS TINAJAS 2018 / MUSCAT
Coastal Itata had a fresh vintage in 2018. Rainfall in the area during March made it necessary to bring forward the harvest so as to ensure the grapes were in a perfectly healthy condition. This wine is aromatic and intense with great volume in the mouth and nicely balances the fresh acidity and the texture contributed by 6 months’ maceration with the skins. Vinification in amphorae contributes rich texture to the palate and results in a wine with tension, volume and smoothness. Ageing potential of around 10 years.
5,400 bottles and 60 magnums produced.

LAS CRUCES 2018 / MALBEC-CARMENERE
Late summer 2018 was cool and dry, which enabled optimal ripening at our Las Cruces vineyard in the Coastal Mountain Range in Cachapoal. The result is a great vintage of this wine, in which the Malbec takes a leading role, providing aromas of black fruit and violets, complemented by the spices from the Carmenere. The palate is packed with intense crunchy fruit, which goes well with the fine tannins and an acidity that enhances the length of the wine. With great volume in the mouth without being in any way heavy, this wine has a structure that guarantees great evolution over the next 15 years.

LAS OLVIDADAS 2019 / PAÍS-SAN FRANCISCO
Summer 2019 ended dry, which enabled us to wait for just the right moment to harvest our old-vine País and San Francisco grapes, both of which ripen late. The result is a wine with very characteristic aromas of red fruit, herbs and earthy notes typical of these varieties. The palate is medium-bodied with superb fruit intensity, tannins that provide a rugged structure and vibrant acidity. With weight on the mid-palate and a long finish, this wine can be enjoyed now but will become more integrated and complex over the next decade.
4,700 bottles and 100 magnums produced.

VIGNO 2018 / CARIGNAN
The 2018 season was marked by a cool, dry end to summer. These conditions enabled optimal ripening at our Carignan vineyard in Sauzal, making this one of the very best vintages of this wine. It is aromatically complex, with aromas ranging from black and red fruit through to spices and herbs, along with a marked mineral note, which is characteristic of granitic soils. The mouth is intense with fresh, ripe fruit and a linear texture accompanied by angular tannins and a vibrant acidity that lengthens the finish. With tremendous structure and a long finish, this wine can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity over the next 20 years.

D'ORO 2008 / SEMILLON
The climate conditions and humidity of the River Maipo in autumn 2008 enabled us to have grapes affected by botrytis or noble rot, which are perfect for producing naturally concentrated sweet wines. This is a highly complex and intense wine with many aromatic layers, an oily texture, concentration, fresh acidity and a very long finish. It is a unique wine from a vineyard with exceptional Semillon that has been shaped by the particular characteristics of this vintage along with 11 years of patient ageing in used barrels.
450 bottles and 1,010 halves produced.
