The grapes come from the estate vineyards in Villa Alegre, 285 km south of Santiago in the Maule Valley. The soils are derived from volcanic ash and consist of sandy to sandy-loam earth. The vineyards are flat and receive an excellent exposure to sunlight. The yields are carefully controlled so as to produce concentrated and elegant wines. The Villa Alegre region of Chile has a Mediterranean- style climate. Winter rains are plentiful and summers are dry with marked temperature variations between day and night, thereby allowing the grapes to obtain superb tannin development as well as excellent aromas and colour concentration.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested from the first of March while the Chardonnay grapes are harvested in the middle of March. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts at temperatures ranging from 12 to 14ºC during twenty days. Both varieties were fermented separately and then blended together. Prior to bottling, the blend is stabilized and filtered carefully to keep all the fruit.

The wine features aromas of gooseberries fruit, with hints of peach and lemon. The finish is crispy and fresh with good balance.
