Winemaking

Made by the traditional, bottle-fermented method from a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir sourced from the Biobío & Itata Valley, on hillside vineyards near the Biobío and Itata rivers that provide fresh winds and proper sun exposure, allowing slow ripening that retains delicate aromatics, good structure and crisp acidity. Grapes were harvested by hand early in the season (1–15 March) to keep their fresh character; the second fermentation took place in the same bottle, resting 18 months on the lees before remuage and dégorgement, followed by a further 6 months in bottle. Residual sugar 6 g/L. Serve at 8°C.
