Kaiken Terroir Series, Vistaflores Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Petit Verdot from Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo, Argentina. This still, dry Red wine is a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Handpicked grapes undergo fermentation in concrete tanks, followed by 8 months of ageing in French oak barrels, imparting complexity. On the nose, expect vivid aromas of ripe red and black fruit, roasted pepper, thyme, and liquorice. The medium-bodied palate offers ripe fruit flavours, firm yet integrated tannins, and balanced acidity, with a chewy density of fruit. It pairs exceptionally well with robust red meat dishes.

75.0CL , 14.5% ABV

Vinification

All varieties were handpicked in April and transported quickly to the winery, where they were carefully selected to ensure only those in pristine condition were vinified. The grapes underwent a pre-fermentation maceration on the skins at a cool 10ºC for 7 days. Fermentation followed in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature of 26°C for one week, using selected yeasts. Post fermentation, the wine macerated on the skins for a further 20 days to extract additional colour and tannins. It was then transferred to French oak barrels, a third of which was new and the remainder second and third use, to age for 8 months before being bottled and aged for a final 3 months prior to release.

Flavour profile

This structured Red wine offers a complex bouquet of vivid ripe red and black fruits, complemented by notes of roasted pepper, thyme, and a hint of liquorice. On the palate, it presents ripe fruit flavours, firm yet well-integrated tannins, and balanced acidity, leading to a chewy and satisfying finish.
