Valdivieso, Eclat, Vigno 2009, Carignan
APPELLATION D.O Valle del Maule
VARIETY Carignan 65%; Mourvedre 20%; Syrah 15%.
ORIGIN
The Carignan vineyard is characterized for old bush vines, no irrigation; all the fruit is sourced
from the Melozal area. An area noted for its aridness and intense summer. It is nestled in the
coastal ranges being much protected from both the coastal effects and the mountain effects.
Soils are a deep sandy loam of low fertility. These conditions allows for exceptional ripeness,
soft tannins and flavours to develop.
HARVEST
Hand picked. Carignan April 15th; Mouvedre April 21st; Syrah April 24th.
VINIFICATION
· Grapes were carefully hand selected.
· Bunches were gently de-stemmed, and cold macerated for 48 hours before being
inoculated with selected yeast.
· Fermentation takes places in a small stainless steel open top fermented for 7 - 10 days with
controlled temperature between 26º to 28ºC.
· During fermentation the skins cap is pushed by the traditional “pigeage” three times a day.
· There was post-fermentation maceration on skins between 7 to 14 days.
· The wine was aged for 12 months in French (100%) oak barrels.
