Tasting notes

This is a very intense wine with a deep black color with shades of purple. The nose is very complex with notes of dry fruits (hazelnuts, nuts), black fruits (blackcurrants, plums, and ripe pomegranates), spices (liquorice, nutmeg) with fine coco and vanilla notes from the 16 months spent aging in new French oak barrels. On the palate it is still a young wine with robust tannins and notes of black fruits mixed with spices, tobacco and dark chocolate that provide an elegant and pleasant finish. This wine has a high potential for aging gracefully in the bottle.

WINERY HISTORY

This outstanding wine celebrates the heritage of the winery´s founder, Amado Paredes. Elaborated with only the finest and most noble Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vintages, it evokes the imagery of both his passion for winemaking and the region from which it comes, the Cachapoal Valley in the heart of Chile´s wine country.

Located within the Central Valley are the upper reaches of the Cachapoal Valley, one of Chile’s historic winegrowing valleys. In this valley lies the town of Rengo that is protected by the mountain range that creates an area cooler and more arid than the rest of the valley. The Torreón de Paredes vineyard built on alluvial soil, is situated in the heart of this and is flanked by the mighty Andes, which not only provides a stunning backdrop to our winery, but also creates the dramatic contrasts between day and night temperatures which result in richer, juicier grapes.
