Winemaker's Collection

2007 Maule Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 75% / Syrah 25%

The Simone Winemaker's Collection is a captivating red wine that showcases a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, sourced from the renowned Maule Valley. This wine presents a full-bodied experience, where the bold nature of the Cabernet Sauvignon is complemented beautifully by the rounder qualities of Syrah. The acidity is lively and contributes freshness, enhancing its overall appeal. Rich notes of dark fruit, including blackberry and plum, mingle with hints of spice and a touch of oak, creating an inviting and complex flavor profile. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that promises great aging potential while also making it incredibly enjoyable now. This wine leans towards a dry style, allowing its fruit-forward character to shine through without overwhelming sweetness, making it perfect for both casual sipping and elegant dining occasions.

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.
