Vineyards
Our entire vineyard is carefully tended with affection and with respect for the natural surroundings. The grapes in our Pacifico Sur Reserva Pinot Noir come from our own vineyard, called Manantiales, in the sector of El Turco in the San Antonio Valley, a place with extraordinary natural conditions required for the growth of grapevines.

Climate
San Antonio Valley has a Mediterranean climate with cold, rainy winters and a warm, dry summer. Marked temperature differences between day and night make ideal conditions for the growth and slow ripening of our wine grapes.

Vinification
Our grapes are harvested by hand in March when they have reached optimal maturity, with care given to select the best bunches of grapes. In order to extract color and aromas the must is interfused with its skin for 3 days at low temperatures. The must is then fermented for 12 days in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts at temperatures ranging from 24º to 26ºC (75º to 79ºF). Then, 30% of the wine is aged in oak barrels for 6 to 8 months. Finally, the wine is cellared in bottles for 6 additional months before its launch on the market.
