About this product


Luz is the end result of our project to produce a world-class Carmenere in the Almahue Valley. Together with our family, we set out to create an exclusive wine, of unsurpassed quality in honor of our grandmother Luz Pereira, an extraordinary woman who planted the vineyards in 1945. This unique mission governs each harvest, for us and for future generations.
The grapes are hand-harvested in 10 kilo boxes. They are sent to our winery, where bunches are selected before being destemmed, after which a new selection of berries is made. The grapes enter the fermentation tanks via gravity. Luz grapes are all fermented in concrete tanks and or French oak tanks. As with all Clos de Luz wines, the fermentation process is carried out with native yeasts. Fermentation takes place over a 12 to 15-day period, with constant temperatures between 26 and 29 degrees celcius. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is kept in contact with the grape skins for a period of time which is defined by daily tastings.

Tasting Note:
An elegant expression of Carménère with red berries, plums, tobacco and a
