ABOUT THIS WINE:

Castillo Quebrado

Castillo Quebrado

Red Blend

Castillo Quebrado continues to showcase the beauty of the Maule Valley with our 2020 Red Blend. This signature Chilean style comprises 48 percent Merlot, 40 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12 percent Carménère, each displaying its unique varietal characteristics. Full-bodied and deep in color, dark fruit flavors, herbaceous notes, and savory elements come together in a blend inspired by the Old World but born in the new. As it weaves through the historic Maule Valley, the waters of the Maule River moderate much of heat from the typically intense sunlight that vines see during the day. Warm days yield to cold nights, which lengthens the growing season and optimizes ripeness and balanced acidity. This beautiful blend is a model reflection of this New World region’s highly concentrated flavors and well-known styles. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of Maule Valley

Maule Valley

When it comes to well-balanced reds of great value, Chile's Maule Valley is hard to beat. The southernmost part of Chile's Central Valley, Maule is a large sub-region with many microclimates and soil types. The Maule River and the nearby Pacific Ocean both greatly influence its climate. Maule was one of the first places in Chile planted with grapevines. It is famed today for its 100-year-old Carignan vines and the densely sumptuous wines they produce. More typical, however, are its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy aromatic Carménère and plush Merlot reds. For whites, check out Maule's cheery Sauvignon Blanc and rounded Chardonnay. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85 percent of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.

On the nose, a complex bouquet of cardamom spice and vanilla combines with clove and hints of ripe tomato. This blend stays true to its style with a full-bodied palate featuring soft acidity and firm tannins. Rich flavors of fig and blackcurrant carry you through a lengthy finish.
