Winemaker's notes:
Aged for 6 months in French oak (20% new oak). Since reaching Chile in 1979, we have conducted some interesting viticultural
experiments with different grape varieties. One of these, Shiraz, did not appear to really thrive in Curicó so after a few
years we tried planting it in Linares, 140 km further south. There, growing in poor, well-drained soils, Shiraz provides
low-yield but excellent harvests. Enjoy its intense, purple colour and its aroma with hints of small black fruits, violet
and redcurrant.
