Winemaking and aging

The grapes are softly pressed before the alcoholic fermentation which occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation. It is held on the lees in stainless steel tanks for about 6 months until just prior to bottling, and then it rests for at least 2 months before release.

Katari, from the underworld to the spiritual realm

Our Pinot Grigio is named after a mythological Inca figure with two heads, one bird and one puma, very similar to a snake. It lives underground, at the bottom of lakes and rivers, and is represented with the wings and legs of birds, characteristics that compare it to a western dragon. It is able to traverse the underground world and the spirit world, and it appears on the Gateway of the Sun in Tiwanaku, Bolivia.
