2007 Chono Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipo Valley

The complex soil structure of the Maipo Valley, allied to its location close to The Andes and ensuing cooling influences, have provided a perfect backdrop for Chono’s grapes. The grapes in question for this wine are Cabernet Sauvignon ( 85%), Cabernet Franc ( 5%) and Carménère. Under the supervision of the esteemed Alvaro Espinoza, the grapes have been vinified separately, a significant percentage lightly oaked. It is the fruit above all, however, which underlines the quality, and ripe and finely textured fruit it is too!
