The wine region of Aconcagua Valley
Chilean valley 100 km north of Santiago, dominated by Aconcagua summit (6,960 m). Powerful and sun-soaked flagship reds. Cabernet Sauvignon signature: dense with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, eucalyptus, pepper and mineral touch, firm tannins and long aging — one of Chile's greatest (Don Maximiano, Seña). Brilliant peppery Syrah, spicy Carménère (grilled bell pepper), supple Merlot.
The wine region of Aconcagua
Chilean valley at the foot of the highest summit of the Americas (6,960 m), hot dry climate tempered by Pacific breezes, altitude vineyards up to 1,600 m. Signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king: powerful with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, cedar, tobacco and peppery touch, firm tannins and exceptional ageing — home of Errazuriz (1870) and great Chileans (Sena, Don Maximiano). Dense Syrah, spiced Carmenere and supple Merlot as complements.
The word of the wine: Deposit
Solid particles that can naturally coat the bottom of a bottle of wine. It is rather a guarantee that the wine has not been mistreated: in fact, to avoid the natural deposit, rather violent processes of filtration or cold passage (- 7 or - 8 °C) are used in order to precipitate the tartar (the small white crystals that some people confuse with crystallized sugar: just taste to dissuade you from it)
