Cabernet Sauvignon

2010 Maule Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2010 Piduco Creek Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the rich, bold character that the Maule Valley is renowned for. This full-bodied red offers an alluring deep crimson hue that captivates the eye. On the nose, it reveals an abundance of dark fruit aromas, lifting notes of blackberry and plum while hints of cocoa and subtle spice intertwine. The acidity is bright and mouthwatering, perfectly balancing the wine's fruit intensity, which is pronounced yet harmonious. Tannins are structured and firm, providing a solid backbone without overwhelming the palate. This Cabernet Sauvignon finishes with a delightful hint of sweetness, confirming its dry profile, making it a fantastic choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Valle Central
Valle Central

The expansive, warm flatlands of Chile's Valle Central are home to most of the country's vineyards. This long stretch of land from Santiago to Itata Valley is divided into four sub-regions, each with its own climate and reputation. There is Maipo Valley with its minty Cabernet Sauvignon, Rapel Valley with its spicy Carménère and the Curicó and Maule Valleys, famous for concentrated Carignan made from old vines. Throughout the valley—which is prized for its rich, volcanic soils—the hot days and cool nights result in ripe, well-balanced grapes. Some of the most common Valle Central wines are fruit-forward reds made from plummy Merlot and pear-flavored whites crafted from Chardonnay.
