Over 20 years ago, the pioneering Norwegian Armador, Dan Odfjell discovered and fell in love with a small corner of the famous Maipo Valley, Chile. Born of rain in Bergen, Norway, he could not resist the attraction of the austral sun in this Virgilian setting. Serendipity would later show that he had found land in Chile's premium red wine producing valley, where vitis vinifera has been cultivated since the 17th century. Here a soothing coastal breeze produces a microclimate conducive to distinct and beautiful wines on the 85 hectares planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. This hand harvested Cabernet Sauvignon has a little Carmenere added to it before being aged in French and American Oak for 14 months. A dark and deep ruby colour prepares for the complex and elegant nose with aromas of mature red candied blackberries. The vanilla and oak flavours are present and well integrated with the fruit, while light notes of leather and tobacco with a touch of chocolate mark the finish. The wine has an excellent well-balanced structure, nice mature tannins with soft and long persistency. (6 x 75 cl)
