Great easy drinking red cabernet sauvignon from Chile.
Made by Viñedos Y Frutales in the Central Valley, Chile. This is Chile’s most productive and internationally known wine region, located directly across the Andes from Argentina.
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon red wine is a superb example of this varietal. Las Rocas Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and flavoursome red wine which is fruity and easy-drinking.
A wine that is perfect with all types of red meat dishes and roasted vegetables or simply on its own.
Featured in the Daily Record on Saturday 3rd April, wine critic Brian Elliott said:
"Its climate and terrain make Chile’s Central Valley (and especially certain of its sub- regions) well suited to producing reliable but great value cabernet sauvignon. This nicely crafted example illustrates the point well. With classic cabernet mintiness and graphite savouriness, it delivers cherry, mulberry and prune flavours with an attractive clove, black pepper and mocha background."
Chile is one of South America’s most significant wine producers. It produces a vast range of wine styles grown in a surprising range of terroirs.
Originally planted with international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet, it was discovered in the 1990s that much of the country’s Merlot was actually a nearly extinct variety called Carménère.
Viñedos Y Frutales is one of the leading family-owned companies founded in 2011 with vineyards in the main Chilean wine regions.
The winemaking team is led by Ángel Marchant, who works with rigorous quality processes in winemaking. Ángel has been related to the vineyards since his childhood, when his father was a Cellar Supervisor.
One of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Australia and British Columbia, Canada to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
The classic profile is full-bodied with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to aging potential.
