Espiritu de Chile Intrepido Reserva Cabernet 2020

Espiritu de Chile wines are crafted for the adventurer. For those seeking to find some of the best wines the Curicó Valley of Chile has to offer. Located 115 miles south of the capital city, Santiago, the Curicó Valley features the greatest variety of grapes in the country. The soil of the Curicó Valley is some of the most fertile, with deposits of limestone and volcanic rock from the Andes Mountains and is irrigated by snow melt of the Lontue and Teno Rivers. 

The grapes used in this Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from the Curicó Valley, one of Chile’s valleys with the richest winegrowing tradition. The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon were carefully harvested and vinified. Fermentation took place under controlled temperature conditions between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius to preserve the freshness, smoothness and intensity of aromas. Following fermentation, 50% of the blend was aged in third fill or older French and American oak barrels for eight months and the remainder was aged in stainless steel vats to preserve fruity aromas.

The nose features notes of plum, cherry, and raspberry that blend to perfection with the black pepper and caramel notes from the barrel aging. This Cabernet Sauvignon boasts an elegant oaky note and superb complexity, smoothness, structure, and power that make it a wonderful pairing choice for a wide variety of dishes. We recommend red meats with mushroom based sauces, cheese and game meats. 

ABV 13%
