The hand harvested fruit from these low-yielding ancient Pais vines grown on basaltic soils is fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks and pressed in a basket press before ageing in big barrels made from native Rauli wood for 14 months. The wine exhibits the delicate underbrush aromas of Itata’s wild grass, red fruits and a little bit of cassis. It’s fresh and delicate, marked by fine grained tannins that give a very unique structure and create a long lingering ending with a distinctive mineral character due to the volcanic soils where the old vines thrive.
