Project Description

THE VALLEY AND THE VINEYARDS

The Rapel valley, home to the grapes used in this wine, extends from east to west along its namesake river. The temperate Mediterranean climate of this valley brings hot, dry summers and rainfall occurs mostly during winter—ideal conditions to grow healthy, perfectly ripe grapes. Mountain breezes blow in the areas adjacent to the river, cooling the vines grown in the region and creating fine red wines with rich fruity profiles and good concentrations.

VINIFICATION

The grapes used in this Cabernet Sauvignon were mostly harvested mechanically. They were subsequently fermented and macerated with their skin in stainless steel tanks in order to extract color, flavors and textures. These processes are carried out under controlled temperature conditions and using selected yeasts. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is aged in tanks for a few months to attain greater smoothness, complexity and subtle notes of wood.

TASTING NOTES

Color: Ruby red with a purple rim.

Nose: Red fruit, cigar box and vanilla aromas with notes of dried herbs.

Palate: Light-bodied wine with fresh red fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry over a subtle roasted coffee background. Its firm tannins persist along notes of black pepper.
