Analytical Data
Wine Production
75% of this wine comes from the oldest vineyards in Macul Estate, used for our Icon Lota, and 25% from other vineyards used for Antiguas Reservas from both Buin and Macul Estate. After a careful selection while harvesting, the grapes are transported in small boxes of 10 kg to the cellar, where they undergo a second selection of bunches and a third one of single berries. The selected berries are carried into stainless steel tanks for a long period of skin contact and settling without oxygen at 7°C (44.6°F).
About the Vineyard
The season 2012-2013 was very unique. The weather changes were positive in every aspect for the vineyard. The grapes were healthy, fresh and fruity with very balanced tannins.
