DIFFERENTIATION
This Chardonnay has a very particular vinification. 40% of the harvest is fermented with its skins to obtain a better structure, and the remaining fraction is directly pressed with the whole cluster, to obtain a higher quality must. This fermentation with high turbidity results in a wine of great complexity and volume.

Our winemaker Ricardo Baettig tells a little and tastes about the
Gran Reserva Chardonnay wine.
“Winemaking is a trade, an interpretation of the grapes as well as the place they are grown. It requires knowledge, sensitivity, hard work, and patience to finally enjoy a product that dates to the origins of human culture. It is a very rewarding endeavor.”
Fuimos los primeros en creer en su potencial y no nos equivocamos. Hoy es unos de los valles más reconocidos a nivel internacional por la calidad de sus vinos. Su principal condición geográfica es la influencia marítima, la cual entra desde el Océano Pacífico y produce una niebla matinal que actúa como moderador de temperatura.
