IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Tasting Notes

This wine has a ruby red color. The notes of dark fruits emboldened by black pepper create an invitingly fruit-forward nose and a lush mouthfeel with notes of redcurrant and cherry, followed by a balanced and silky finish.

This cabernet sauvignon was made entirely from hand-harvested grapes from select plots on our vineyard estate Finca El Portillo, located at 3,610 feet above sea level. Soils are alluvial, atop a gravel bed with good permeability and drainage.

Wine maker notes
The grapes are hand-harvested to preserve the optimum freshness of the fruit. After destemming, the grapes are transferred to stainless steel tanks, where cold maceration takes place at a temperature of 45 -50°F. Fermentation lasts for 10 to 15 days. After fermentation, the wine is racked by gravity, with no pumping, and is aged in stainless steel tanks.
