A wine that manages to offer a lightness of touch and nuance, the flavours are of fragrant crisp red berry fruits yet this also retains its own identity and sense of place with a subtle generosity, a rounded structure and gentle warmth. Very fine Bordeaux styles blend from vineyards in the Cachapoal region of Chile 900 metres above sea level.
