A winery born from the study of music. Juan José Ledesma worked for years in the vineyards, researching grapevine genetics for the Chilean government. Whilst on his travels he discovered a Malbec vineyard that was over 100 years old. His request for backing to restore this vineyard was declined, so he tried a different angle, the research of the effect of music on wine. Each barrel is plugged with a different tune, playing inside, turning the lees, shaping the wine.Following his discovery of the ancient Malbec vines, Juan José expanded the business to work with other dry grown, ancient ancestral vines grown in Itata and Biobio. As their name suggests, Terroir Sonoro is all about 'terroir and songs'.
Winemaking >
"Vineyard profile:
70 years old plantation of Moscatel de
Alejandria grapes in a monovarietal,
low bush ungrafted and dry farmed
vines without any other management
than the prunning and mechanical weed
control.
Granitic soil with a lot of quartz and
schist over the soil profile
Winemaking
Grapes are hand picked and desteemed
in a trational but improved zaranda that
use plastic material instead “colihue wood” sticks over an open tank. The
fermentation occurs with the skins. After 15 days the grapes are pressed
and the juice racked in a foudre and inoculated by our own culture of “flor”
yeasts. During the aging the wine is stimulated by the vibrations of music
24 hours a day. After 9 months under “velo de flor”, the wine is decanted and
bottled unfiltered."
