Character

A highly aromatic wine. In the bouquet are blackberries, blueberries and caramel notes. Ageing in oak barrels has given it a complexity with flavours of vanilla, coffee and black pepper. Mellow on the palate, with well-rounded tannins. A substantial wine with a long finish. It can be enjoyed straight away or laid down for up to ten years.

Region

Central Valley Region

Das Central Valley ist – was die Weinmenge betrifft – eines der wichtigsten und grössten Weinbaugebiete Südamerikas. Es erstreckt sich von den Küstenebenen des westlichen Colchagua bis hin zu den Andenausläufern von Puente Alto und ist in die Subregionen Colchagua und Cachapoal unterteilt. Auf seinen 400 Kilometern Länge bietet es eine grosse klimatische Vielfalt und sehr unterschiedliche Böden, was in einem enormen Angebot von Weinen, von traditionell chilenischen bis hin zu modischen Weinen im Bordeaux-Stil, resultiert. Auf jeden Fall spielt Chiles Star-Traube Carmenere hier die Hauptrolle. In den kühleren Regionen experimentieren Winzer aber zunehmend auch mit Rebsorten wie Viognier, Riesling und sogar Gewürztraminer.
