Tasting Notes
Intensely aromatic, this vintage opens with rich notes of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, and eucalyptus, lifted by a refreshing menthol edge. The palate is concentrated yet velvety smooth, with layers of black pepper spice, bitter dark chocolate, and supple, well-integrated tannins. A lingering finish highlights the wine’s balance of fruit intensity and herbal complexity, making it both food-friendly and rewarding on its own.

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. |
