The vines, planted at altitude on poor soils of clay and limestone, benefit from a continental climate tempered by Atlantic influence. This combination of cool temperatures, regular winds, and significant temperature variations promotes slow ripening of the grapes and preserves natural acidity, resulting in precise, expressive wines that truly reflect their terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Maturana Blanca grapes are hand-harvested, then destemmed and gently pressed before cold static settling. The must then ferments at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromatic expression of this indigenous grape variety. Aging continues on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, with regular stirring to add volume and complexity, before bottling at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003estone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ewhite fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and pleasant \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e touches, complemented by delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances and a subtle \u003cstrong\u003eminerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that underscores its limestone hillside origins.
