Description du Produit
D.O.N. is an acronym of the Spanish language sentence “De Origen Noble” which means: Of Noble Origin. The brand was chosen to express the origin of the best grapes of noble French varieties planted on the vineyards of Santa Helena Vineyards selected to produce this wine, an icon representative of the outstanding care on the viticulture and winemaking.
During the 2009/2010 season, the weather from where the grapes for the wine D.O.N. come from, was cooler than normal and the year was free of rainfall. The season started with a balanced growth of the vineyard, thanks to a cool spring. Bloom came a week later than normal and fruit set was abundant, especially in Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks to this, the berry size was smaller, whereby a greater colour and best texture was obtained.
La vigueur des plantes a été réglée avec une moindre contribution des produits d'irrigation également plus faible demande en eau d'un été plus frais. Le veraison (the onset of ripening, originally a French term (véraison) but has been adopted into English use to express the moment when ripening starts and the grape berries change from the green of inmaturity to the maturity colour) began in early January. Maturité est venu en Avril, une semaine plus tard que dans une année normale. Il est toujours surprenant de constater combien la fraîcheur et un large éventail de saveurs sont développées dans les raisins grâce à un temps plus froid. Ce qui est arrivé dans toutes les variétés et donc, les résultats qualitatifs du Bicentenaire récolte au Chili, était extraordinaire. D.O.N. is a 100% free of animal ingredients.
