Vineyard
The grapes for this wine comes from Peumo Vineyard, D.O. Peumo, Valle del Cachapoal (Carménère); from Pirque Viejo Vineyard, D.O. Pirque, Valle del Maipo (Cabernet Sauvignon); and from Puente Alto Vineyard, D.O. Puente Alto, Valle del Maipo (Cabernet Franc).
The Carménère Peumo Vineyard is located 170 m above sea level and extended along the Cachapoal River, on terraces of hills of the Coastal Mountains. The vines come from pre-phylloxera cuttings and are trellised to vertical shoot position and cordon pruned. ¬The soils are deep with an upper layer of clay that retains moisture, which controls the vines’ vigour and growth and allows them to remain active through late May, when the Carménère grapes are picked.
