KOYLE Royale Malbec
KOYLE Royale Malbec. Koyle Royale is the top line of varietal wines from the Undurraga family. The Koyle winery, named after a plant typical of the Colchagua growing region, was planted by the Undurraga family in DO Alto Colchagua according to the biodynamic principle.
The grapes were picked in extremely small, selected parcels (less than one bottle per plant) from high density vines in our Los Lingues vineyard in Colchauga. The vines are farmed bio-dynamically in volcanic rocky soils, where the roots can bring minerality and complexity from the rocks. The vineyards are carefully pruned in double guyot, leaving just 4 buds for cane, to express as much as possible the origin.
At optimum ripeness in early March, the grapes are hand-picked in small boxes and brought to the cellar for careful sorting. Vinification is conducted in small tanks to a soft extraction of aromas, flavors and tannins. After fermentation, the Koyle Royale Malbec is aged in French oak barrels for eighteen months, with no filtration.
