Winemaking notes
Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks over a period of
eight days at a controlled temperature of 26°C. No oak was used
in order to preserve the intense varietal flavours of the Cabernet
Sauvignon, and after malolactic fermentation it was kept in tank
for four months prior to bottling.
Viticultural notes
Los Boldos has 170 hectares of vineyards which benefit from a
Mediterranean climate. The clear, bright skies during the summer
and the wide diurnal temperature range are ideal for growing fruit
that maintains fresh acidity whilst ripening to perfection. The
grapes come from a vineyard in Requinoa, located in the appellation of Cachapoal. The nearby Cachapoal river moderates temperatures, while stony alluvial soils ensure low yields.
Tasting notes
This wine is a deep ruby red in colour. On the nose, there are
aromas of cherries and cassis mingling with herbal characters. The
palate is balanced and fresh, with well integrated tannins and an
elegant finish.
