Single Vineyard – Cabernet Sauvignon – La Capilla

February 2016

Vineyard
The grapes for this wine come from a selection of the best sectors of blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4 of our La Capilla Vineyard near the town of Peralillo in the Colchagua Valley. These blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon average 22 years in age.

Tasting Notes
With a bright and deep red color and glints of violet. The expressive nose shows great complexity, highlighting aromas of ripe red fruit and blue fruit, including sour cherry and blueberry, together with a subtle note of pink pepper. The wine is intense on the palate, with good structure and balance, highlighting firm tannins that add tension and texture to the mouthfeel. Subtle nutty notes on the aftertaste lead to a long, elegant finish.

Food pairing
Serve it with slow-cooked beef like short ribs or a T-bone, or rosemary lamb shank. Service temperature of 17–18ºC, ideally decanted prior to serving. Aging potential of 8–9 years.
