The Las Niñas vineyard is firmly rooted in Apalta, in the heart of Colchagua. It has been certified organic since 2017. To combat weeds naturally before the vines start to grow, they use sheep. The partial weed control done by the animals helps to retain humidity in the soil, recycle nutritive elements and prevent erosion. In turn, sheep droppings provide natural fertilizer for the plants.
Tasting Notes:
Intense, vibrant red robe. The complex nose is a blend of liquorice, pepper, red fruit and eucalyptus. The mouth is lively, responsive and tannic with an emphatic enjoyable freshness. This is a wine with excellent ageing potential
Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by hand in the morning and immediately processed in the cellar. Vinification is meticulous with temperature control and tannin extraction. A post-fermentation maceration is carried out to obtain a complete structure.
Aging: 8 months in French oak barrel.
Food Pairing: Consider grilled or roasted red meats like steak, lamb chops, or ribs. Hearty stews, mushroom dishes (like risotto), and even some cheeses (like Gouda or Cheddar).
