VARIETY PREMIUM RED PLUS WINERY SELECTION - DO VALLE CENTRAL
CABERNET SAUVIGNON 60% CARMENERE 25% MERLOT 15%
VINEYARDS
Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere are located in the Maule Valley. The soils are thin, clayey, and yield low. Summers are warm and dry, ensuring perfect berry ripeness. Merlot comes from the Alto Maipo Valley. This condition gives the wine delicate floral and fruity aromas.
Vineyard yield: 12 tons/ha
TECHNICAL NOTES
The grapes were harvested in late April with ripe tannins and a good balance of sugars and aromas. Harvesting was done manually and transported to the winery in small trays (15 kg) to protect the integrity of the fruit. Fermentation took place between 28°C and 30°C, with a 16-day maceration. Eighty-five percent of this wine was aged for 24 months in French and American oak barrels. The remaining 15% was kept in stainless steel to preserve the fruity aromas.
TASTING NOTES
Beautiful and intense purple-red color. Fine aromas and delicate intensity harmonize the ripe fruit and the elegant notes provided by barrel aging, enhancing the black cherry and dried fruit highlights over the spicy notes. Powerful aromas are perceived on the palate, with a strong structure resting on ripe tannins and woody notes. This is a harmonious wine with a persistent and solid finish, ensuring good evolution and a long cellar life.
SERVE at 18°C. Recommended with spicy dishes, red meats or game, and mature cheeses.
