Primus Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipo Valley

Name: Primus Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipo Valley
SKU: 31600

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for this elegant and intense wine come from the Maipo Valley a region that encircles Santiago. After a rigorous selection of grapes and the fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about a year, a quarter of these barrels are new. The nose shows lively aromas of redcurrant, cherry and fig, with notes of sweet vanilla spice. The palate is generous with cherry, raspberry and blueberry fruit, backed by a silky textured finish.

The Country

Chile

A viticultural paradise, where vines were introduced by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. A long, narrow country stretching 800 miles from the deserts of the north to the glacial south and it's these valleys and coasts that give the wine its variety.
