Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A lovely Cabernet Sauvignon typical of the Chilean terroir, produced in a young and fresh style. Fermentation in stainless steel allows for a cleaner expression of the fruit, not masked by the oak. The aromas are marked by red and black fruits, such as cherry , blackcurrant , raspberry and blackberry as well as some notes of red berries . A slightly vegetal essence of blackcurrant leaves is present accompanied by a chocolate and caffeinated touch. The noticeable acidity increases the freshness of the fruit, which leads to a short and pleasant finish.

It was Hernán Cortés who ordered, upon the conquest of Mexico, the cultivation of vines in 1524. It gradually extended from Mexico southwards to reach Chile in 1555. During the first 3 centuries of colonization, there was no Cultivated in Chile as país, a black grape variety without character and very productive. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that noble varieties were introduced: mainly cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. Twenty years later, winemaking was modernized under the leadership of wealthy owners and French experts who were forced into unemployment by phylloxera in Europe. Chile stretches 4,300 kilometers from north to south. It is wedged between the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Atacama Desert to the north, the Patagonian plains and glaciers to the south. These natural barriers prevented phylloxera from entering the country. Although the country is only 160 kilometers wide, it has ideal conditions for growing warm, intermediate and cool grape varieties, so much so that it is often described as a paradise for growing grapes. With nearly 300 properties producing bottled wines, Chile fluctuates between 6th and 8th place in the world.
