Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Our vineyards are located on a terrace above the Maipo River. The semi-arid Mediterranean climate with an average annual rainfall of 350 mm ensures stable and optimal weather conditions with a high level of sunshine during the ripening period and cool night airs coming down from the Andes. As a result, there are strong temperature fluctuations of 28°C during the day and 10-12°C at night.

This is the perfect environment for powerful and elegant wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, a fruity varietal that tastes of black currant, cassis and other red berries, but also reveals notes of paprika, tobacco and chocolate. This Cabernet even smells a bit like peach. The storage in small oak barrels and later in the bottle make the wine stronger and, above all, more harmonious.
