Palo Santo is a sacred indigenous wood, whose sticks when burnt as incense is intended to re-energise the soul. 100% Tupungato vineyard fruit, grown on the regions deep sandy loams, beneath which a seam of chalky soil runs. The vineyards soil and altitude give the resulting wine character and fineness.
 
Harvest by machine, the grapes are chilled once they get into the winery before they go into a pre fermentation maceration process for 2 days. The fermentation process takes place and then 40% goes into new and used French oak, while the remaining 60% goes into stainless steel tank.
 
Tasting notes
Over a nose of regional graphite and damson fruit the palate is structured with notes of black tea, black cherry, damson and gently creamy vanilla notes. Uco Valleys inherent altitude gives this wine its serious structure and fineness. The wine finishes with great purity, elegance and delicious black tea notes.
