In the glass, this intense wine shines in a bright dark red. The bouquet is wonderfully balanced elegant and
harmonious. Strong aromas of juicy cherries and ripe blackcurrants unfold. The aromas of the nose are underlined by floral accents - especially violets - and spicy hints of bourbon vanilla, cinnamon and some toast.
On the palate, this Chilean red wine presents itself with a structured, full-bodied body, which is carried by lush fruit
notes, such as wild berries, cassis and spices. The finale is accompanied by ripe, velvety soft and dense tannins.
This red wine exudes an excellent harmony of the four grape varieties: The complexity and abundance on the palate give this wine Petit Verdot - Cabernet Franc ensures the unforgettable elegance - Cabernet Sauvignon
and Merlot give this Chilean red wine its softness.
Food Pairing
Red meat, lamb, cheese.
Great as well to pair with stuffed duck roast or turkey roast from the oven, grilled steaks from
the beef with braised vegetables or with fried kidneys in sherry sauce..
