"From the Pirque zone near the foot of the Andes in the Maipo Valley (40% of the blend), and also from Isla de Maipo, on the banks of the Maipo River, this has a firm structure with corpulent, energy-filled tannins acting against the walls of the palate. It was aged for 10 months in barrels, but the tannic force is such that you don't notice the oak. But it's not only that--it also has lots of ripe and juicy red fruits. One for grilled skirt steak."

"With fruit from Isla de Maipo, along with 25% cabernet from Pirque in Maipo's Andean zone, this wine offers fruit and herbs in addition to smoky and toasted notes from the eight months of barrel aging. The texture is nervy and tense, with lots of tart red fruit flavors on the palate. A good example of the variety, especially when it's grown on the Maipo's alluvial soils."

"Little by little, the Pirque vineyards in the heights of Maipo Alto are starting to be used in this blend. And you can taste it as it lends freshness, depth, and spices to this blend that, until recently, was reflected more an idea of oak and sweetness than the real idea of cabernet. Here there are notes of mint and red fruit, and very firm, piercing tannins that beg for a shepherd's pie."

"From vineyards in the heart of Leyda, 145 kilometers from the ocean in the San Antonio Valley, this wine displays the strong influence of the Pacific breezes with a somewhat saline tone in the flavors, but the very cool year also left its mark on the acidity in the form of very fresh, effervescent citrus tones. The wine is light but tense at the same time, with herbal notes on the finish."
