Casas del Bosque Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2016

Exceptional oak aged Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing aromas of plump black cherries and rich cassis. The fruit follows onto a generous palate with flecks of spearmint and a lengthy finish with hints of clove, cinnamon and espresso bean.

Casas del Bosque is a premium boutique Chilean winery located in the region of Casablanca Valley, 60 miles north-west of the capital city Santiago. Twice awarded Chile’s Winery of the Year in the IWSC (International Wine and Spirits Competition), they are located in the cooler western side of Casablanca Valley, their most easterly vineyards reaching just 20 miles from the Pacific coastline. The direct sea influence of the Humboldt current, which carries winds from Antarctica up the length of the American continent, gives grapes an extra 10 days of hangtime in comparison to warmer vineyards further inland.

Casas del Bosque sources fruit for their Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon from the finest plots in Rapel Valley. Protected by the cooling ocean influences, Rapel Valley is a warm and dry region perfectly suited to ripening heat-loving red varieties.
