Grape

Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Cabernet Franc

Origin
This winery's 70 hectares of vines sit high up in the Maipo Valley. The estate was originally established in 1998 by the Valette family, former owners of the prestigious Château Pavie, and the wine is very much a Bordeaux-influenced blend.
Taste
This rich wine shows classic Cabernet cassis notes on the nose, with touches of sandalwood and clove. 14 months in French oak has added vanilla and toast aromas. A weighty, ripe blackcurrant palate.
Enjoy
Enjoy now or over the next 5 years, and partner with venison, duck, or fillet of beef.

    First Class

    Super all-round wine and great for game. The cab sauv gives it structure, the carmenere soft fruits and the franc some tannin and a big finish. A big, boozy mouthful; a bad boy of a wine that scrubs up nicely and ends up surprisingly well-mannered.
