Cabernet Franc 63%, Cabernet Sauvignon 12%, Merlot 25%. The quarters of this vineyard are oriented towards the north, inspiring its name, Trumao. This is a name of Mapuche origin that identifies the soil of volcanic formation present in this area, marking the grapes with a mineral and graphitic character. These are deep soils with a precise organic matter composition that allows the vines with a very sensitive root system, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc, to establish themselves in a balanced and sustainable manner over time. The blocks of this vineyard are oriented towards the north, inspiring the name of this wine. Harvested by hand early in the morning, 80% of the grapes are destemmed and fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts at controlled temperatures. Gently macerated for 22 to 24 days of alcoholic fermentation, then racked into 400-liter French barrels for 16 months. Made with minimal work intervention and bottled unfiltered.
