Producer Note
Perez Cruz is a family owned boutique winery located in the Alto Maipo. Their estate
covers 250 hectres of vines planted in one of the most sought after areas for growing
premium Cabernet Sauvignon. This red wine specialist also produces small parcels of
Syrah, Cot (Malbec), Carmenère and Petit Verdot. From the first vintage in 2002,
President Andres Perez Cruz has seen the estate's speciality red wine amass an
impressive array of awards and gold medals. Their eco-friendly winery was built by
award winning architect Jose Cruz Ovalle, to fulfil the technical objective of fine wine
production. Its wooden roof and natural light allow thermal isolation and free air flow
circulation, making it one of the most unique wineries in the world.
Vineyard
The grapes are sourced from low yielding vines from the Liguai Estate. Located in the
Maipo Valley’s “Maipo-Andes” subregion, the vineyard is nestled against the
mountain foothills between 440 and 520 metres elevation. The Double Guyot trained
vines are drip irrigated and grown in alluvial soils with low fertility. The harvest takes
place manually, once the grapes have reached optimum maturity levels.
Winemaking
The grapes were handpicked and then carefully selected before being gently
pressed and cold macerated in stainless steel tanks. Pumped over by hand, the
juice was fermented and was then macerated with its skins for a period of 30 days.
The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was then matured in new French
oak barrels for 16 months.
Tasting Note
A spicy wine with vibrant notes of blackberry, blackcurrant and a hint of mocha.
Elegant and complex on the palate with supple tannins and a savoury finish.
Serving Suggestion
A highly versatile wine, great with spiced meats and curry dishes.
