Grapes: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Petit Verdot
The Kuyen blend is aged for one year in French oak barrels, then bottled and aged an additional six months in the cellar prior to release.
A blend of 57% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Carmenere, 2% Petit Verdot, this second wine to the icon “Antiyal” excels year after year. Cherry and plum aromas are racy, with distinct minerality. Flavours of chocolate, leafy spice, earth and berry fruits finish with a final blast of vital berry flavours before fading into a long and pleasurable finish.
The moon, just like the sun, has a deep relationship with organic and biological energies. Ancient farmers knew this and followed its natural rhythms to work the land for thousands of years without chemical additions. Kuyen, Mapuche for "moon," is our tribute to these wise people and their ancient methods, forgotten by conventional agriculture. This high-voltage red has great fruit expression with earth notes and spice on the finish. An enticing complexity refreshes the palate sip after sip and has excellent potential for cellaring.
Aging: 100% in French oak barrels for twelve months (1/3 new, 1/3 second use, 1/3 third use)
