    90 Pts, James Suckling, 2024

This iconic Cabernet Sauvignon was created to dedicate to Roberto Echeverria Snr, the founder and original winemaker at Viña Echeverría. A manual harvest took place when the grapes had reached optimal phenolic ripeness. They were carried immediately to the winery in 18kg boxes and carefully selected. The grapes were fermented in 12,000-litre stainless steel vats for 10 days at controlled temperatures of 25 to 28°C with selected yeasts. An extended skin maceration took place for an additional 10 to 15 days. The wine went through 100% malolactic conversion before being aged in 225-litre new French oak barrels for 18 months. The wine was blended and returned to barrels for six additional months.

Opulent with intense dark plum and blackcurrant aromas layered with eucalyptus and menthol. This is a concentrated wine with black pepper and bitter chocolate flavours complemented by round and supple tannins to a long, elegant finish.

Winery

The vineyard is located in Maipo Alto in the Central Valley. Alto Maipo reaches into the foothills of the Andean Mountains; the vineyard is situated at elevations of 400 to 800 metres above sea level. The afternoon sun warms the vineyard and the cool mountain breezes that slide down the hillside at night create a broad oscillation between day and night temperatures. This diurnal temperature difference creates perfect conditions for bold yet elegant red wines, especially the regional star Cabernet Sauvignon. Careful pruning is carried out to allow the correct balance between the canopy and the fruit, while irrigation is carefully managed to avoid dehydration. The vines are grown in medium-fertility soils of mostly red and black clay.
