Petit Sirah was brought to Chile by Santa Rita in 1991 and grafted onto old rootstocks. The vineyard is only two hectares, selected for the loam and clay soils with stones underneath to aid drainage. 18 months of ageing in new, medium toast French oak barrels. Aromas of black fruits with sweet spice and hints of smoke and balsamic notes. On the palate there’s smoke, chocolate and spice with a long finish.
