Tasting Notes
Intense aromas of red cherries and black pepper are underpinned by a smoky, earthy background. On the palate it shows mellow, fresh tannins and lingering notes of eucalyptus, with a delicious and persistent finish.
About
Viña Echeverría combines nearly a century of viticulture and winemaking experience with a modern state-of-theart winery, to produce an extensive collection of quality wines.
Viticulture: The vineyard is located in Molina in the Curico Valley at an altitude of 243 metres. It is situated between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Intense sunshine is tempered by cooling sea breezes, allowing the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The warm dry days and cold nights encourage a long growing season, which provides the perfect conditions for bold yet elegant red wines, especially the regional star, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Winemaking: The grapes were 100% hand harvested into 18 kilogram boxes, carefully selected and then fermented to dryness in 25,000 litre stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts and lasted for seven to 10 days at controlled temperatures of between 25 to 28°C. Extended skin maceration lasted for additional six to eight days, followed by 100% malolactic conversion. The wine was matured in 225 litre French oak barrels of second and third use for a period of 10 to 12 months.
