AWARDS & RECOGNITION

"To make this wine grapes are sourced from vineyards in Millahue, Cachapoal Valley. Aged in barrels for 24 months, this blend has a nose of cherry, raspberry and strawberry followed by cinnamon. Tannins have enough grip to hold fruit flavors accented by vanilla, light notes of black pepper and bell pepper."
- 90/100, Wine Enthusiast

"Deep ruby with purple reflections and subtle lightening on the ochre rim. On the nose, nuances of blackberry and cassis, subtle herbal spice, a hint of nougat and tobacco. The palate has medium complexity, with red cherry fruit, fresh acidity and pronounced tannins which linger on the minerally finish with a leafy aftertaste."
