Tarapacá Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis is Maipo Valley cabernet from the foothills of the Andes at the eastern end of Colchagua. It’s an impressive 2700-hectare property, with only 611 hectares of vineyards. 2015 was an excellent growing season, showing fragrant, savoury bay leaf, cedar-lined, red and black fruits with medium body, round tannins and exceptional freshness in this wine. Perfect for grilled or roasted beef or lamb, it is aged 12 months in French and American oak barrels, 15 percent new. The 70 acres devoted to cabernet sauvignon were planted in 1992.
