Bodegas Volcanes Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

With 2,900 volcanoes, Chile has a huge variety of volcanic soils spread across the country. Bodega Volcanes was founded in 2009 to honor this unique aspect of the Chilean terroir. A Terroir Manager and Viticulturist were appointed to find the best vineyards for wines with excitement and depth. Since 2018, a talented geologist who specializes in the influence of volcanic soil on the style of the wine has been used. The winemaker María del Pilar Díaz has been involved in the project from the very beginning and has become an established name in the Chilean wine world. These Cabernet grape for the Volcanes come from a vineyard located in Rapel Valley. The soils are all of volcanic origin because they are deposited by the river that has taken erosion material from the mountains. It is therefore a mix of intrusive rock such as granite and rock deposited during volcanic eruptions. The wine has matured for 8 months in barrels of American and French oak.

The Volcanes Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva has a bright, ruby red color. The nose is very expressive, with notes of red fruit, tobacco, sweet spices and a hint of smoke. The wine has a medium body, firm, but ripe tannins and the taste of candied fruit, toast, menthol and liquorice.  14.5% ABV
