This wine is predominantly crafted from Syrah grapes, complemented by small additions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier. The Syrah grapes are sourced from the Finca Apalta Estate, known for its steep slopes and granite-rich soils, which impart depth and complexity to the wine. Additional Syrah comes from the Marchigüe Estate, featuring moderately sloped, west-facing blocks with similar granite influences. 

Upon harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures to preserve their aromatic profiles. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of varying ages (first, second, and third use). This aging process enhances the wine's complexity, contributing subtle notes of vanilla and dark chocolate.

BBQ pork ribs with smoky sauce – The wine’s spicy and smoky notes perfectly complement the slow-cooked, juicy pork ribs.

Mushroom risotto with black pepper – Syrah’s peppery and earthy aromas harmonize beautifully with the creamy risotto and umami-rich mushrooms.

Beef stew with red wine sauce – The full-bodied character of Syrah pairs well with the slow-cooked, tender beef and the rich, spiced sauce.

Grilled eggplant with tahini sauce – The slightly smoky, earthy eggplant and the creamy tahini create a nice contrast with the wine’s intense fruitiness.

Chorizo pizza with caramelized onions – The spicy chorizo and sweet caramelized onions balance the Syrah’s bold berry fruit and spice notes.
