This prestigious wine showcases the exceptional terroir of Chile's wine regions and the masterful blending of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz.
Winemaking
The wine is crafted through careful selection of grapes from premium vineyards. After harvest, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting before fermentation. The wine ages in French oak barrels, allowing the complex flavors to develop and integrate harmoniously. This process results in a full-bodied wine with remarkable structure and aging potential.

- Finish: Long and smooth, with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity
Territory
Chile's unique geography, nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, creates ideal conditions for grape growing.
