AUMA, a tribute to winemaker Cristobal Undurraga's father, Alfonso Undurraga Mackenna, stands as one of Chile's finest Carmenère-led blends. This wine combines the richness of Carmenère with the ripe tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Franc adds complexity with subtle lead-pencil aromas, while Merlot contributes spiciness, and Malbec lends a floral top note. After separate 24-month barrel aging for each grape variety, the blend matures for an additional nine months in a concrete egg before being bottled without filtration. The wine comprises Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
