Descripción del Producto
Nativa began in 1995 as a part of Viña Carmen and four years later, en 1999, Nativa produced the first Chilean wine made with certified organic grapes. Today the Nativa wines are made from grapes grown in both sustainably managed and certified organic vineyard The Terra range adheres to the Sustainability Code by Wines of Chile. This code monitors sustainable practices in the vineyard, winery and offices as well aiming to improve social conditions of their employees through various community projects.
Compendio
Las uvas para la gama Terra se obtienen de pequeña (less than 5 hectáreas) long term growers, farming sustainably. The Terra range has moved away from being certified organic due to the difficulties in sourcing organically grown grapes (especially the Sauvignon Blanc, compounded by severe frosts in 2013 and a small 2014 cosecha). A pesar de esta, Nativa are still making the Terra range following organic practices. Así, none of the wines have had any vineyard treatment- not even water – because 90% of them are from dry farming cultivars. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are handpicked from vineyards located in Colchagua.
Vintage Information
El 2014 vendimia vio un comienzo difícil debido a una helada generalizada a mediados de septiembre, que redujo la producción. Sin embargo, las viñas de bajo rendimiento resultantes produjeron uvas más concentradas. La mayor parte de Chile experimentaron buenas condiciones climáticas para una temporada larga y seca maduración.
Elaboración del vino
Cold maceration took place for 7 days at 4-5°C to extract aroma and colour. The grapes were then fermented at 25°C in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Eighty percent of the blend was aged in French and American oak barrels for 9 months and the wine spent an additional 2 months in bottle before release.
