Wines of Chile / Cerro Nevado

Cerro Nevado Cabernet Sauvignon

The grapes come from the Central Valley, one of Chile’s main wine-growing areas. The climatic conditions are similar to those of the Mediterranean area, with hot, dry summers and short, mild winters. Due to its proximity to the sea, there is permanent humidity with morning mists, which leads to slow ripening and high quality wines.

Region

Wines of Chile continue the legacy of Spanish wine culture in the 'New World'. The rugged and wild landscapes, with the currents of the Pacific to one side and the Andean slopes to the other, allow excellent climatic conditions for the cultivation of varieties brought from the Old World: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay which prosper with indigenous grapes like Carmenere.

Tasting Notes

Deep red in colour with aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants, this wine has a palate rich in dark fruit flavours with a long finish and subtle hints of spice.

Food Pairing

Perfect with grilled meats, game and mature cheeses.

Technical Information

Grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery in small baskets in order to preserve the bunches whole and undamaged. Then the grapes are destemmed and proceed to cold maceration (for 2-3 days at very low temperatures). Fermentation takes place at moderate temperatures (26° to 27°C) to express the maximum aromatic potential and colour of the grape. After the malolactic fermentation the wine remains in contact with fine lees for a few months to preserve an intense fruit character, concentration and softness.
