As a general winemaking philosophy, in our Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère we look for elegance, balance and ageing potential. To express the terroir of Apalta is our mission, so our winemaking philosophy remains a very natural process with minimal intervention. Our key points are 100% hand harvesting in small cases of 14 kilos. 30% of the grapes were hand destemmed while the remaining 70% went through a strict selection by optical state of the art grape selection. A gentle extraction and a judicious use of oak to preserve the fruit but integrate the complexity that a wine of this quality deserves. Fermentations were done 3% in barrels, 27% in French oak vats and 70% in steel tanks. Then the wine was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, 20% new, 22% second use and the remaining 58% third use French oak barrel.
