Vina Las Ninas Carmenere Syrah Mapuche Valle del Colchagua 2021

The Colchagua Valley has evolved over the past twenty years from a quiet stretch of farmland to one of Chile's most essential and active wine regions. The low altitude of Colchagua's coastal hills allows Pacific breezes to interact with Andean winds, refreshing the valley and extending the region's ripening period, helping to preserve the acidity of the grapes and to produce reds with excellent color, freshness, and aging potential.

The mechanical harvest is preferably done by night to take advantage of the cool night-time temperatures.

Before being vatted, the grapes are cooled. Before the alcoholic fermentation starts, the grapes macerate for 7 days at 8°C

The alcoholic fermentation lasts 7 to 10 days at

26°C-28°C. During the alcoholic fermentation process, pumping over is done every day.

After fermentation, the wine and marc remain in contact for about 7 to 10 days.

Once the wine and the marc have been separated, the latter is put away as quickly as possible to preserve all its fruit and to begin its aging on wood

The soil is sandy-clay with a rocky volcanic mixture at the foot of the hills.

GRAPE VARIETIES: Carmenere 90%, Syrah 10%
