2013 San Pedro Grandes Vinos Altair Blend
SKU: S1GVALBLD136
One of the brightest stars in the sky is Altair. Inspired by the stars, we decided to plant our vines in the Cachapoal Andes Valley, a site whose terroir was created by ancient volcanic eruptions and violent earthquakes dating back millions of years. Our star is not up in the skies�it�s here at the base of the Andes, deeply rooted in this ancient soil. Altair, the star of the Andes.
- Grapes were handpicked in 10 kg bins. There were three selections: in the vineyard, upon arriving to the bodega and after destemming. The grapes were always protected with dry ice to avoid oxidation, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. In 2013, the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah were all healthy. After a six-day cold maceration, temperatures were spiked to 30�C to begin an eight-day fermentation with commercial yeasts. Pump overs were performed 8-10 times a day, according to variety, for a short period of time. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wines macerated for 15-20 days, determined by daily tastings, before devatted and decanted into barrels. Malolactic fermentation occurred spontaneously in barrel.
