Established in 1988 by Aurelio Montes, Douglas Murray, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand, with the aim of producing the best wines in Chile from the best regions. Grapes are sourced from the best parcels from the `Finca Apalta` in Apalta, arguably one of the finest sites for red wine grape growing in Chile. The 2018 vintage is a well-structured blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. A complex nose packed with ripe red and black fruits, cherry syrup, figs, and blackberries. The influence of French oak barrels is reflected in the toasted notes, sweet spices, tobacco, and hint of wet earth; there is also some dairy-like toffee and caramel. On the palate, the wine is balanced, with extremely silky tannins, a well-harmonized acidity and a long, fruit forward, vibrant finish. Silver Medal Winner at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2021.
