The wine region of Aconcagua

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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
