TASTING NOTE

Deep violet-red color. Intense berry aroma on the nose, together with subtle notes of fresh herbs and sweet tobacco. Full volume and compact structure on the palate. The combination of well-proportioned tannins and subtle acidity leads to a pleasant, balanced finish. The ideal accompaniment to tasty meat or pasta dishes, cheese or just on its own.

Description

"A fresh wind is breathing through the Colchagua Valley, whose wines are among the best Chile can offer. (...) I have never tasted a wine like the one of the Swiss native Daniel Wiederkehr, having come to Chile in 2001 (...). Ten years later, in his own vineyard VIÑA NAHUEL, planted in 1942, he started to produce his Cabernet Sauvignon. The old vines make for a delightful wine - with pleasant acidity and a rich variety of fragrances." Patricio Tapia in the chilean newspaper EL MERCURIO (05/2016)
