The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

A beautiful ruby-red Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva from the centuries-old Carta Vieja winery. The grapes for this red wine are planted in the Valle del Loncomilla vineyards, one of the oldest estates of the del Pedragal family. It lies on the eastern bank of the Loncomilla River. The temperate climate allows the grapes to develop distinctive aromas. There are two types of soil, with the Cabernet Sauvignon vines benefiting from a loamy, stony soil.

The del Pedregal family has been involved in the wine industry since 1825. Carlos Alberto del Pedregal left Spain for Chile, bringing with him European vines. The Loncomilla Valley in the Maule region was to be the place where he began his dream. It offers the perfect conditions for viticulture. And since his arrival, eight generations have succeeded him, each equally dedicated to winemaking. Traditions have been preserved, while adapting them to modern times. The winery has also invested in new technologies.

At the end of April, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested. A rigorous selection process is carried out in the vineyards themselves. Cold maceration lasts about five days, after which the juice undergoes fermentation. After this, the wine is aged for a full 10 months in French oak barrels, some of which are used for a second or third time. After this oak aging, we can enjoy the delicious Cabernet Sauvignon with its intense aromas. The aroma reveals blackberries, cassis, vanilla, and cloves. This continues into the powerful flavor with ripe and well-structured tannins. Soft notes of pepper, tobacco, and vanilla combine with sweet black fruit. The flavors continue into the pleasant finish, which beautifully balances everything.
