VINEYARDS

Altitude: 1,200 meters above sea level for Finca La Esperanza. First it was an ocean. Then mountains and later a mountain range.
Now it is home to the high-altitude vineyards that produce wines with a mountain-inspired personality
and a complexity and character only this terroir can bestow.” from The Winery
VINIFICATION: Harvested at night for coolness, total maceration time of 2 weeks with extensive cap management
6 months aging in French oak
TASTING NOTES from The Winery
“The intense violet color makes it a worthy representative of the
wines from Los Chacayes.
A wine of distinct aromatic complexity, with outstanding notes
of red fruits, floral aromas of violets, vanilla and cigar.
The mouth confirms the presence of black fruits like blackberries
and spices. The medium structure and silky tannins are perfectly
balanced with the delicious natural acidity, leading to a
prolonged finish.”
PAIRING & SERVICE
Best paired with leaner red meats, creamy mushroom sauces,
melted cheese, particularly blue.
