OTERO RAMOS
Priding itself in the art of handcrafted wine making, the labor in the Otero Ramos vineyards is manual; from debudding and first thinning during veraison (when berries start to change their color), to second thinning for bunch sorting.
Otero Ramos vineyards are irrigated with smelt waters from the Andes, which are stored their in own pond. It has a capacity of 8 million liters and was especially designed to refresh and further embellish the view. Otero Ramos' first vintage was in 2006. The vineyard’s layout allows a meticulous and manual handling of the stocks. Wine is conceived in the land and once the bunches are ripe and have reached their peak condition, they are carefully harvested and taken into the winery, thus obtaining top quality grape juice to elaborate Otero Ramos high range wines.
The Otero Ramos winery was designed in a Spanish style, a traditional characteristic construction of late XIX, beginning of XX century wineries. There is an underground cellar for oak and bottle ageing. Their current capacity is 600.000 liters, and their elaboration involves high-tech equipment and the most careful and traditional oenological practices.
The winery relies on two Oenologists and a prestigious International Flying winemaker, Mr. Sergio Correa Undurraga.
