Description:
Lots of typical, Chilean Cabernet varietal character showing fresh tart black- and redcurrants on the nose with leafy, red pepper undertones; quite soft and fruity but with some depth and structure as lightly dry tannins complete the finish. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are both hand- and machine-harvested from simple and lyre trellised vines in the Rapel Valley, planted in aluvial soils. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at temperatures controlled below 30 degrees for 7 to 10 days, with post-fermentation maceration on the skins for about the same amount of time to extract sufficient colour and tannins. No wood ageing.

Sauvignon Blanc rootstocks from Bordeaux, France which comes from the vineyards in Mulchen in the Bio-Bio region. Dry and complex, yellow-green in colour with fresh fruit, vanilla and herb aromas. (12 x 75 cl)
This wine has a purple red colour. On the nose there's mocha, vanilla and red ripe fruit. In the mouth it is soft, gentle and persistent, with a touch of pepper, spice and oodles of lush fruit, all wrapped up in some soft tannins. (12 x 75 cl)
Dense, dark and purple, this wine is packed with blackberry and plummy fruit flavours. The nose has the peppery/herbal edge so typical of Chilean Merlot and the palate shows dark fruits and ripe cherry flavours with a hint of chocolate and coffee. (12 x 75 cl)
Dry, fresh and fruity with a ripe and round body- pale and yellow in colour characterized by its complex aroma and tones of tropical fruits, banana, vanilla and cinnamon. (12 x 75 cl)
