Haras de Pirque is located in the easternmost part of the Maipo Valley, just at the foothills of the Andes, in one of the best terroirs for producing fine Chilean wines. Haras de Pirque fully represents the strong innovative character of the Antinori family and its desire to express Maipo Valley’s extraordinary terroir. The winery is designed to integrate gravity flow technology into all phases of wine production. This way, the grapes are handled as gently as possible, extracting only the softest tannins and preserving balance and precision under the eye of Cecilia Guzmán, the winemaker.
Winemaking >
The 4 different plots of Cabernet Franc and Carménère were vinified independently in stainless steel and French oak vats. It precedes alcoholic fermentation, a cold maceration for 3 to 5 days, to maximize its aromatic potential. After alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts, the wine was transferred to barrels for a period of 14 months.
