Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
Wine region of São Paulo state (Brazil) on the Serra da Mantiqueira, with a temperate high-altitude climate and varied soils on rolling hills. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah lead in reds: ripe black fruits, cherry, plum and a spicy touch, supple tannins and generous body. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc deliver fresh whites with citrus and white flowers. Local hybrids (Bordô, Niagara, Isabel) produce fruity table wines.
