05 Jun New icon, Guillermo
Behind a good wine there is a great story. And this is how Guillermo was born… a wine that adds to our icon Alexia… a tribute from love, to our parents and founders of Viña Chocalán.
Love and legacy.
Guillermo, a wine in honor of the father and founder of Viña Chocalán, which comes to crown our 25 years of hard work in the Maipo Valley, showing the highest quality of our vineyards. A blend where Carménère predominates, providing sparkle and complexity.
This blend comes from selected sectors of our vineyard, with very low yields and precision handling, which translates into a wine with the same strength and character as our father.
FIRST HARVEST: 2018
COMPOSITION 2018
68% Carménère, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot.
WINEMAKER´S COMMENTS
Intense and very deep red – purple colour, this complex blend based in Carménère stars with aromas that remaind black fruit, dried plum and candied fruit. There is also a note of paprika, sweet spice, cigar box and graphite.On the palate, Guillermo 2018 has a very soft entrance, displaying juiciness and good acidity with great persistence, body and a long finish. This wine promises a lengthy and interesting evolution in the bottle.
SUGGESTIONS
Decanting is recommended. Serve at 16ºC. Excellent to complement cheese, red meats, and wagyu. We emphasize game meats like lamb or boar.
