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:
The color of this wine is almost black red. On the nose, the wine is intense with aromas of fresh red fruit, violets and fresh pepper. On the palate, the wine is fresh, tannic and concentrated.
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: Grilled ribeye steak, spicy lamb curry, or even a Chilean empanada with beef and onions as excellent choices.
