Justo is a tribute to our ancestor, the General Justo José Arteaga Cuevas, who was in charge of the protection of the first ruler of independent Chile; the first elected dictator, the Irish descendent, Bernardo O’Higgins, son of the Viceroy of Perú, Ambrose O’Higgins. With conviction he knew how to fight for great results, face the challenges and overcome them with character. Like our vineyards whose roots look for their space to be able to survive in the poor and rocky soils of the valley of Lolol to forge honest, concentrated and elegant wines. Justo is an expressive wine, soft tannins, freco and balanced. It was born from the careful selection of the best grapes of each year, a wine made with such dedication that is made only when our grapes reach a higher level. An example of Justo is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 70% – Carménère 20% – Petit Verdot 10% – 18 months in French oak – 2 years in bottle: “Cabernet Sauvignon de Lolol is rich in fruit, elegance and acidity thanks to its slow maturity, which is very well accompanied by the typical Carmenere and structure of the Petit Verdot“
