Presentation
The Grande Réserve is a benchmark for elegance and finesse in Chile. The wine is a blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and is produced using traditional vinification and maturing techniques.
The wine is characterized by the complexity and persistence of its bouquet of cherries and blackcurrants (Cabernet Sauvignon), strawberries (Malbec), raspberries (Syrah) and plums, with notes of bay leaves and black pepper (Carmenère). A delicious, exciting wine, with great density and harmony.

The vintage
Unlike last season, which saw a record low of -4.9ºC, this year’s minimum winter temperatures, at around zero, were a sign of the warm spring to come, which brought an average high of 33ºC and an average low of 7.9ºC, with below normal rainfall (418 mm). High temperatures prevailed during the summer, obliging our teams to manage irrigation very carefully, to ensure that the vines would be subject to the right level of water stress to produce high-quality grapes.
The harvest took place from April 9 to 30, almost two weeks earlier than last year.

Tasting
Lovely ruby red color with brick-like nuances. Aromas of fresh, ripe fruit such as raspberries, cherries, and plums can be discerned in the nose, along with notes of cocoa, peppermint, black olive, white pepper, and prune. On the palate, an appealing style is backed up by powerful tannins. An easy-to-drink, extremely pleasant wine.
