Leoni Torres Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyards and Terroir:

The grapes come from our vineyards located in Villa Alegre, 285 km south of Santiago, in Maule Valley. This place has a Mediterranean-like climate, where the winter rains are normal and the summers are dry, with marked range of temperatures between day and night. This allows the grapes to get ripe tannins, as well as excellent aromas and color concentration. Soils are a combination of sand and volcanic ash, and the flat terrain gets and superb sunlight exposition.

Vinification:

The grapes were harvested in mid-April. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks, with selected yeasts at temperatures ranging from 26° to 28°C for a period of seven to ten days, then aging in barrels, to finally stabilize and filter the wines before bottling with all the precautions not to affect their quality.

Notes from the winemaker:

This is an intense, complex wine with aromas and flavors of black cherries, blueberries, hazelnut, vanilla, leather and toasted. In the palate it has a very good structure, with mature tannins, fresh black fruit, and a smoky, spicy character. Ideal to accompany white and red meats, mature cheeses, and game birds.
