Truquilemu is the coldest corner of the Maule where red grapes are still able to ripen.
This site sits on Chile's Coastal Range (much older and slower to cool than the Andes), thus sub-soils have cracked granite beneath that allow roots to get deep into cracks and deep rooting is the key to interesting Carignan.
A portion of the grapes harvested were lightly foot trodden rather than crushed/destemmed, providing floral lift and added tannin.
