Current condition

Young fruit-forward with developing structure

The wine's structure—firm tannins, moderate acidity, and ripe fruit—support a medium-term aging window. Oak influence adds complexity that softens with time but maintains freshness due to well-managed acidity and tannins. The 2021 vintage in Colchagua was favorable, slightly warmer, yielding concentrated fruit suitable for aging.

Food pairing

Grilled or roasted red meats, barbecued lamb, aged cheeses, and savory dishes with herbs such as rosemary and thyme.

Serving

Serving temperature
