Tasting notes

Enclave is a deep, dark red wine with aromas of red fruits like plum and cherry, with hints of blackcurrant, white pepper, damp earth, and some dark fruit. It has a very interesting aromatic complexity. On the palate, it is an elegant wine with good structure, firm yet silky tannins, and a long finish. This blended wine offers distinct layers of flavor. The firm tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot intertwine with the smoothness and complexity of Carmenere and the elegance of Cabernet Franc. This blend gives Enclave a high aging potential of 10-15 years. / Vertex is a deep red color with violet hues. On the nose, it presents notes of dark fruits like blackberries and berries, mixed with black pepper, damp earth, hints of native forest, some graphite, and soft spices. It is a wine with a firm structure on the palate, silky tannins, and flavors of black fruit and spices. Its medium-high acidity provides balance and a persistent finish. / Obliqua is a deep red color with violet hues. The nose offers notes of fresh red fruits like raspberry, mingled with spices and hints of cedar. On the palate, it is a wine with a firm structure, well-defined tannins, and a chalky sensation typical of stony soils. It is very elegant, with excellent acidity, balanced on the palate, and persistent. This Carménère reflects the high-altitude vineyards of Apalta, making it an atypical wine among Chilean Carménère examples. The altitude and mountain planting result in a wine that is vibrant and intense on the palate. In short, a Carménère meant for aging. Pangea has an intense, dark purplish-red color, with rich and complex aromas that reflect everything a Syrah from the Apalta Valley is, with notes of black fruit mingling with aromas of raspberry and spices like black pepper, along with mineral notes such as graphite, very classic of this terroir of granitic soils with high quartz content. Ripe and firm tannins, a wine with great structure and acidity; decanting is recommended. This wine possesses an exceptional combination of concentration, flavors, and aromas. Herú is a wine of a deep ruby ​​red color. From the first moment, the fragrances of red fruits like strawberries and wild raspberries express the classic typicity of this noble variety. Subtly, notes of vanilla and spices intertwine with a delicate minerality, creating a charming and complex wine. On the palate, it unfolds intense fruit flavors and ripe, round tannins, integrated into its elegant structure and showing its long persistence on the finish. With its distinctive elegance, French oak frames the expressiveness of this wine. / Tara White Wine 1 is a fresh, vibrant, and mineral wine with a taut, well-structured palate, where the calcareous and saline soil is evident. Aromatically, it offers notes of cucumber, apricot, and flowers, which evolve in the glass as it is sipped. The varietal character is not reflected in a classic way, which we attribute to a very particular and unique terroir, provided by a climate influenced by the Pacific Ocean, with mornings clouded by the fog known as "Camanchaca," a strong wind that cools the vineyards and creates what we call a desert with a cool climate, yet very arid, with calcareous and saline soils.
