Araucano Description

Humo Blanco takes its name from the dawn mist that covers these vineyards, which are
planted close to the Pacific Ocean. This Cabernet Sauvignon is produced with organic
practices to enforce the utmost natural farming techniques and foster continual vineyard
health at Hacienda Araucano.
APPELLATION: This wine comes from selected plots of both our estate vineyards in Lolol
Valley as well as estate vineyard sites in the famed Apalta growing area, further down in the
Colcahagua Valley.
VARIETY: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon - a highly reputed red grape variety originally
from Bordeaux. Much appreciated around the world for its capacity to adapt to different
soils. It is the most widely grown variety in Chile.
TASTING NOTES:
COLOR: Ruby with purple reflections.
AROMA: Aromas of blackberry, grilled sweet pepper and vanilla.
FLAVOR: It has a lovely roundness on the palate. Its finish matches its nose, freshened by a
touch of eucalyptus.
FOOD MARRIAGE: Meats, (pork filet, lamb) and cheeses.

WINEMAKING:
HARVEST: Manual picking into small crates. Picked by vineyard plot. Double selection
firstly on the bunch and then the grapes themselves are sorted to remove staims and leaves.
CLIMATE: Oceanic (Pacific), which regularly brings morning mists and cool evenings.
VINIFICATION: Chilling in a refrigerated room with gentle crush in these chilled con-
ditions for most of the grapes. Maceration on the skins for 35 days. Fermented in vat with
regular pumping over.
AGEING: Malolactic in barrel. Regular stirring during a period of three months. Aged for ten
months in one-year old french oak barrels
