EPU 2023
Puente Alto Blend · Vintage 2023 · Smooth, Balanced & Approachable
Assemblage (Blend)
Cabernet Sauvignon: 82%
Carménère: 12%
Merlot: 3%
Cabernet Franc: 3%
Vintage Conditions
The winter was extremely dry, with only 119 mm of rainfall in Puente Alto, 41% below historical averages.
Spring was warm but unstable, with fluctuating conditions during flowering causing some coulure in Cabernet Sauvignon.
Summer was extremely hot, with temperatures averaging 2°C above normal and the hottest March on record in Chile.
The heat accelerated ripening, requiring early harvest to preserve acidity and freshness.
Harvest began March 9 with Merlot, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon on March 13, and concluded April 24, with Carménère picked early between April 25 and May 5.
The vintage produced a structured wine with strong Cabernet Sauvignon expression while maintaining freshness despite extreme heat.
Winemaking & Aging
