Character

A highly aromatic wine. In the bouquet are blackberries, blueberries and caramel notes. Ageing in oak barrels has given it a complexity with flavours of vanilla, coffee and black pepper. Mellow on the palate, with well-rounded tannins. A substantial wine with a long finish. It can be enjoyed straight away or laid down for up to ten years.

Region

Central Valley Region

From the point of view of volumes, the Central Valley is one of the most important and largest winegrowing regions in South America. It extends from the coastal terrains of western Colchagua up to the Puento Alto foothills of the Andes. It is divided into the subregions of Colchagua and Cachapoal. Across 400 kilometres, a vast climatic diversity and a range of various soils produce an enormous range of wines, from traditional Chilean to trendy Bordeaux-style wines. In any case, Chile’s star grape Carmenere takes centre stage. In the cooler regions, vintners also like to experiment with other vine types like Viognier, Riesling, or Gewürztraminer.
