Gran Reserva Carignan Vinified in small lots with long maceration to get fruitiness and a round mouthfeel. Its high natural acidity and tannins allow the wine to be aged for a long time with a good evolution. Carignan from dry-farmed vines creates rounded tannins due to high temperatures in the ripening season and due to granitic soils. The natural acidity provided by a combination of the varietal, cool nights, and acidic soil brings freshness and an equilibrated flavor. 2016 : 91 JS | 2016 : 91 W&S | 2015 : 90 WE 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.

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.

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. 2013 : 91 V | 2011 : 91 WS | 2010 : 91 WS 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. 2013 : 91 V, 91 JS | 2012 : 91 JS | 2011 : 91 WS, 90 W&S | 2010 : 90 WA
