75 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 9% Cabernet Franc & 6% Malbec
Viña Tarapacá celebrates 145 years winemaking expertise in Chilean viticulture - a long history of excellence and tradition as one of the oldest wineries in the country. The vineyards are located at the heart of the Maipo Valley, renowned as one of the best regions for winemaking in Chile.
Tarapacá Estate: "The Natural Clos of the Maipo Valley" is bordered by the River Maipo and surrounded by the Andes Mountains. Our vineyards have unique characteristics within a Mediterranean macroclimate, with a warm, dry season allowing for full-bodied wines with ripe tannins and medium acidity.
DECANTER 97 POINTS, BEST IN SHOW - "One of the most encouraging qualities of those Chilean wines which made it through to gold and platinum this year, our judges felt, was a new aromatic complexity and a much finer understanding of aromatic maturity in the vineyard than in the past. This complex, subtle and still youthful blend offers an excellent example of this. It's dark black-red, with creamy plum and currant notes as well as a hint of fragrant, cured Havana leaf. On the palate, it is concentrated and long, with admirable freshness lending life and energy to the red and black fruits. Meaty yet supple tannins bring ballast. It's harmonious and accessible now, but there is enough density here to carry it effortlessly through half a decade's maturation."
