Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

WINE OVERVIEW

An elegant Andean Cabernet with purity of local Macul expression.

Tasting Notes

Nice ruby red color. Very elegant nose, combining fresh red fruit, cassis and spices. Nice structure and smooth on the palate, red fruit and a note of toasted oak. Soft and round tannins, very well balanced with a long aftertaste.

Food Pairing

A great wine to pair with a hangar steak, roasted duck, or a juicy cheeseburger.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is peachy and floral, expressive, open and aromatic with herbal varietal notes and a medium-bodied, soft and elegant palate, with fine-grained tannins and a soft texture. As in previous years, it contains some 15% Syrah. This has grown in volume and kept the quality. 57,866 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020. Wine Advocate August 2021

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Aquitania from Maipo was aged for eight months in French oak (225 and 400 liters). Ruby in color, it has a complex nose of black currant and mint giving way to camphor and grilled red pepper. Smooth with polished tannins and a very intense flavor stirred up by the fluid alcohol, this is an extremely classic Chilean Bordeaux style. Vinous May 2021
