Undurraga is one of Chile’s most prestigious wineries, consistently receiving high scores from top wine critics. Founded in 1885, Undurraga owns 1,350 hectares of estate vineyard in Chile’s premium wine-producing areas such as Leyda, Cauquenes and Itata. Head winemaker Rafael Urrejola has spent a great deal of time understanding the diversity of Chile’s vineyard sites; the result is the emblematic ‘Terroir Hunter’ range. Undurraga cultivates their vineyards with respect for the environment and follow a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar in order to showcase the terroir.
The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and sorted to ensure only the healthy fruit was vinified. The fruit was then carefully crushed and destemmed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats, at controlled temperatures ranging between 28°C and 30°C, lasting for seven days. Post fermentation maceration took place over four days, in order to extract the aromatics of the Carmenère grape. Vinified without oak, to allow the purity of fruit to be fully expressed.
