Alcance Cabernet is deeply colored, dense and vibrant. The nose is laced with blackberries, blueberries and sage. The palate blends ripe fruit flavors, firm tannins and balanced acidity. This is a tight, concentrated, block-selected wine that will soften and expand with time in the bottle. Our Alcance Cabernet Sauvignon combines fruit from vineyard blocks in the Maule and Itata regions south of Santiago. Both Maule and Itata possess climates regulated by the cool breezes that flow up from the Pacific in the morning and down off the Andes Mountains in the afternoon. The grapes from Maule delivered dark color, intensity, ripe fruit flavors and bold tannins. The fruit from Itata added mid-palate lushness, softer tannins and heightened aromatics. Composition: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot Appellation: Maule and Itata Valleys Barrel Aging: 17 months French oak (25% new)
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among climates ranging from Canada's Okanagan Valley to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon became internationally recognized through its prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. From France, the grape spread across Europe and to the New World where it found new homes in places like California's Napa Valley, Australia's Coonawarra region and Chile's Maipo Valley. It was the world's most widely planted premium red wine grape until it was surpassed by Merlot in the 1990s. Read More...
