Curicó Valley was named after one of the Picunche tribes, the Curis, who settled along the rivers of the central valley flowing into the Mataquito River and this gives the name to this wine. Curicó also translates into black waters in Chiles native Mapundungun. The dark water appearance of the Mataquito river is due to its depth, which in parts seems bottomless. Hand harvested by several passes through the vineyards in March, the wine is fermented in oak and stays in the same barrel for a further six months during which the lees are regularly stirred, giving texture and depth of flavour to the wine
