As a general winemaking philosophy, in our Cuvée Alexandre Merlot we look for elegance, balance and ageing potential. Express the terroir of Apalta is our mission; so our winemaking philosophy remains very natural process with minimal intervention. Our key points are 100% hand harvest in small cases of 14 kilos, strict fruit selection by 78% optical state of the art grape selection by Vistalys and 22% hand de-stemming of the grapes. Gentle extraction methods and a judicious use of oak to preserve the fruit but integrate the complexity that a wine of this quality deserves. For the vintage 2014 we decided to add 13% of Carmenère to enhance the spicy character of this variety. Our Cuvée Alexandre Merlot was aged for 13 months in French oak barrels: 42% in new oak; 28% in second and 30% in third used French oak barrel.
