Santa Carolina Gran Reserva Assemblage Red Blend 2019

Cauquenes, Chile

Wine Details

The Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used in this blend were hand
picked separately. They were subsequently taken to the winery for
destemming and crushing before being transferred to stainless steel tanks
where they underwent cold maceration at 28º C, approximately. The final
blend was aged in contact with French oak for 8 months and bottled a year
after fermentation.

and engaging tannins, notes of fresh red fruit, floral undertone of violets,
dark chocolate, and a dried herb finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
