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: Destemming

Operation consisting in eliminating the vegetal part of the bunch supporting the berries, its maceration with the must giving a herbaceous taste to the wine.
