Molina Vineyard. VII Region, Chile. (Central Valley) La Huerta Vineyard. Cool climate area with Andean influence. Good for developing tropical aromas.
| Wine maker notes |
| The grapes are hand picked at 22–23° brix to protect their natural characteristics and avoid oxidation of aromas. Harvest usually takes place in mid-March with yields of 12 to 15 tons per hectare. |
| Technical notes |
| The grapes are processed immediately upon arriving at the cellar and may be cold macerated at 10º–12°C (50º–54ºF) for 4 to 6 hours. They are then transferred to the press, and the first- and second-run musts are separated, leaving the option of using both in the final blend. The must is decanted at low temperatures (11°C / 52ºF) for 24 to 48 hours, and the clean must is racked off and inoculated with selected yeasts. Fermentation is carried out for 20 days at controlled temperatures below 15°C (59ºF) to develop and preserve the variety’s fresh fruit aromas, character, and intensity. |
| Food pairing |
| Ideal with poultry and game birds, veal, pork, fish, and pasta sauced with cream or butter and mushrooms. Best served at: 10º–12°C (50º–54ºF) |
