Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

This Gran Reserva is 90 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 percent Carmenere, sourced from the Los

Lingues and Los Cactus vineyards in the Colchagua Valley. This combination gives a full-body character

to the wine. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in both barriques and stainless steel tanks

for twelve months. On the nose, red berries, black berries, smoke and toasted aromas come through.

Juicy on the palate, with cherry and chocolate notes in combination with toasted oak, this wine is well

structured and full-bodied with smooth tannins and a long finish.

CA1 Andes Carmenere

Grown in the warm Andes foothills of the Colchagua valley, CA1 is a Carmenere of great character and

power. The grape selection for CA1 is sourced from the same block each year, which is pruned down to

one bunch per shoot. The shoot is hand-manipulated to a 90-degree vertical position, resulting in a plant

that shows the highest typicity of the Carmenere varietal with soft tannins, balanced acidity and rich

fruit flavors. This is a rich wine, with intense aromas of ripe red fruit. The round tannins, together with the

lush concentration of fruit on the palate, reveals the best expression of Carmenere grown at the foot of

the Andes Mountains. This Carmenere is sourced from vineyards located on the warm Andes Foothills

of the Colchagua Valley, in Los Lingues. The micro-

terroir

of Los Lingues gives this Carmenere unique

characteristics in terms of red fruits. Grapes were picked at its maximum of maturity to keep and maintain

all its aromatics potential. Aged for twelve months in French and American oak barrels.

CA2 Costa Carmenere

This Carmenere is sourced from Los Cactus vineyard located on the coastal mountain range of the

Colchagua Valley.,This is a unique Carmenere that benefits from a strong maritime influence, and offers

refreshing elegance and character. The constant breezes off the Pacific Ocean cool the grapes, slowly

maturing the intense aromas of dark fruit and spice. Much like the grapes from CA1 Andes Carmenere, the

CA2 Costa grapes are also selected from the same block every year and picked at maximum maturity to

maintain its full aromatic potential. With its soft texture and intense flavors on the palate, this wine is a

perfect expression of Carmenere from the coast of Chile.
