Winemaker's comment

The 2020 Delanz is a deep, intense purplish-red in color. The nose is perfumed, fresh, and lively, with aromas recalling lavender, blackcurrants, and plums. Fresh fruit appears on the palate followed by subtle notes of spices. It is very pure, intense, and deliciously refined accompanied by perfectly ripe tannins that sustain the wine with tremendous persistence and elegance.

Terroir

It is located at Andes Mountains foot on the Maipo River south bank, where there is great terroir diversity. It is surrounded by hills and has varied geological formations, slopes, altitudes, exposures and soil textures.

Climate

The Winery has a semi-arid Mediterranean climate. The daily temperature oscillation can reach 20 ° C, as a result of the cold air coming down from the Andes Mountains.

Soil

The unique configuration of the mountains that surround Alto Jahuel delays the drop in temperatures at sunset, resulting in more ripe and sweet grapes, with soft, round tannins.
