VINEYARD
The Maule valley is Chile’s largest winegrowing region. Its over 50.000 planted hectares make it one of the most geographically and climatically diverse valleys in the country. This allows growing a wide range of grape varieties, from very fresh whites from the mountainous areas to reds with a lot of character from the interior and coastal drylands. Maule is home to some of the country's oldest vineyards, some even exceeding the 100 year mark.

VINIFICATION
The Rosé grapes used in this Carolina Reserva Collection Series are harvested both manually and mechanically. After a few hours in contact with the skins to obtain its attractive pink color, grapes are processed in a pneumatic press and the juice is fermented with selected yeasts under controlled temperatures. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for a few months to develop a smooth texture. Sediment is removed through a gentle filtering process carried out before bottling.

TASTING NOTES
Beautiful, light pink color. Intense nose of expressive red fruit like cherry and raspberry and delicate hints of rose. The palate exhibits delicate tannins and mouthwatering acidity. A flavorful, easy to drink, juicy and refreshing wine.

The wine was subsequently fermented as a white wine, at a low temperature and using selected yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine rested on its lees for a few weeks for enhanced complexity and softness on the palate.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
Green salad with chicken and croutons, plum tart.
