Colchagua Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The internationally successful Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Colchagua region in the Chilean Central Valley. It is a modern interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon that enhances the varietal characteristics: herbaceous notes, fruitiness and structure. Cabernet sauvignon is the main grape of the Los Vascos winery, thanks to this wine Los Vascos has entered the wine lists and shelves of wine shops all over the world. Colchagua stretches between the coastal hills and the foothills of the Andes. The climate in the Colchagua valley is perfect for the ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes: warm and dry, but cooled by the ocean breezes. It is an almost Mediterranean climate and in fact the greatest Chilean reds come from here. The soil is mainly composed of granitic weathering of volcanic origin and determines naturally low yields in favor of the quality of the wines.

The harvest is manual. The grapes are de-stemmed and fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins. Punching down and délastage are practiced. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and then ages in steel for a few months.
