Origin Gran Reserva Blend
70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
$7,794
This blend originates on the slopes and foothills of the Coastal Range, in the Maipo Valley. The terroir, with its granite and clay soils, along with a Mediterranean climate influenced by the sea, creates the conditions for a wine of great freshness and complexity. The 2021 vintage, characterized by cool weather, accentuated the vibrant character of this wine.
Manual harvesting extends from late March to early April. Winemaking includes a 7-day cold maceration and post-fermentation contact with the skins for balanced extraction. 80% of the blend is aged for 10 to 12 months in second to fifth-use French oak barrels, seeking a subtle integration of the wood.
Dark garnet in color, this Merlot-dominated wine offers floral and black fruit aromas, with notes of plums, herbs, and a hint of cherry liqueur, along with complex notes of dark chocolate and mint. On the palate, it is fresh and juicy, with soft tannins and a long, persistent finish. It is suggested to serve at 17°C, being perfect for a lasagna bolognese or a chicken and pea stew.
