Tech Details

Years of intensive soil studies and micro-vinifications have shown that S38 grapes produce world-class Cabernet Sauvignon with outstanding freshness, balance and depth from its deep, stony soils.

  • The Los Lingues vineyards are situated on the northeast border of the Colchagua Valley. The soil is of alluvial-colluvial origin and varies in texture with fine sand, clay and angled granite rocks leading to excellent water drainage. 
  • Grapes are 100% hand harvested in small trays. The grapes pass through a selection table before and after de-stemming, then gravity fed to small oak tanks and fermentation barrels. After a cold maceration for 10 days, the alcoholic fermentation is carefully conducted at 26-28 ° C. Malolactic fermentation is made in barrels.
  • 80% is aged in French oak barrels & 20% is aged in stainless steel tanks for 12 months. The best barrels of this block are selected by tasting and blended afterward. Aged 6 months in bottle prior to market release.
