ARAUCANO RESERVA CARMENERE 2020

Wine-growing
At theend of winter, during which rainfall was normalcompared to the past 5 years which were dry, we began theseason with full
water reservoirs. 3e beginning of spring was dry and hot, which resulted in early vegetative deve-lopment. Our biodynamic
practices over the past few years haveenabled us to maintain avery good level of quality.We harvested the Syrah grapes during the
6rst days of April. 3e unusually hot month of March in Chileaccelerated theripening process. 3isvintage promises to be wellstructu-red, with plenty of tannins and ripe aromas. 3e fact that the Lolol terroir is in8uenced by the ocean should enable us to
maintain itsacidity.
