The clear, sunny skies coupled with the best Pedro Jiménez and Muscat of Alexandria grapes from the region give Control C its delicate flavors and aromas, making it the perfect emblem of one of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Chile.

Pisco Mistral tells its story, seen from its fascinating world of origin and production. A journey through its different stages of production, from the reception of grapes, maceration, fermentation, distillation, aging and bottling, tells us how a masterpiece is created. This almost magical process allows this noble distillate to acquire all the characteristics that identify it, giving it its golden color, incomparable flavor and aroma. Notes of dried fruit, plum and raisins, fused with aromas provided by the American oak wood such as toasted hazelnuts, oak and hints of vanilla and caramel, achieving a pisco with great character, with a round and consistent body.
