{"product_id":"neyen-vineyards-espiritu-de-apalta-chili","title":"Neyen Vineyards - Espiritu de Apalta - 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of the Colchagua Valley, in the Apalta region, Neyen Vineyards stretches across a natural amphitheater facing the Tinguiririca River in central Chile. The vines, planted on hillsides with alluvial and colluvial soils of sand, gravel, and clay, benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by coastal influence. Nestled between the Coastal Range and the Andes Mountains, this moderately high-altitude terroir offers significant temperature variations, promoting a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this cuvée are hand-harvested plot by plot in the Apalta vineyard, then carefully sorted before a cold pre-fermentation maceration. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with gentle pump-overs to delicately extract color and tannins, followed by a post-fermentation maceration tailored to each batch. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, large casks, and concrete tanks to preserve the balance between fruit freshness, aromatic complexity, and silky texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe black fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003efresh red fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches, enhanced by \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances and a delicate oakiness with hints of \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e .
