History
Mr Bulnes was an intellectual and pioneer of the modernization of Chile who dedicated his last years to the preservation of the local fauna. He was particularly passionate about ornithology and enjoyed watching his favorite species, the mockingbird (Tenca) from the balcony of his library.
Regional Information
The Colchagua Valley has evolved over the past twenty years from a quiet stretch of farmland to one of Chile's most important and active wine regions. The
low elevation of Colchagua's coastal hills allows Pacific breezes to interact with Andean winds, cooling the valley and extending the region's ripening period, which helps
preserve the acidity of the grapes, producing red wines with excellent color, freshness and aging potential.

Vinification Details
The mechanical harvest is done preferably at night to take advantage of the cool night temperatures. Before being put in tanks, the grapes are cooled. Before the alcoholic fermentation starts, they macerate at a temperature of 8C for 7 days. The alcoholic fermentation lasts 7 to 10 days at a temperature of 26C - 28C. During this process, pumping-over are carried out daily, their frequency and duration are determined by daily tasting sessions. After fermentation, the wine and the marc remain in contact for approximately 7 to 10 days. Once the wine and the marc have been separated, the wine is put away as quickly as possible to preserve all its fruit and to begin its aging on wood.
