The 2022 vintage was extremely dry, with only 70 mm of winter rainfall in Puente Alto and total seasonal rainfall of just 79 mm.

Spring was warmer than usual, while summer returned to historical temperature levels, with greater day-night thermal amplitude than average.

Merlot harvest began on March 17, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon from March 21 to April 29, and Carménère from May 2 to 11.

The vintage produced generous fruit, balanced ripeness and freshness, and strong structure without losing acidity. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
