Las Casas de Vaqueria Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Made by one of the oldest estates in Chile, situated in the Maule region, where the first grapes arrived from Bordeaux in the 1800s, this is textbook Chilean Cabernet - "one of the New World's great bargains" (Tim Atkin, The Observer)

Huge temperature variations in the Maule Valley from day to night - some 20 degrees Celsius - mean the grapes offer a superb intensity of fruit flavours and crisp acidity, unique to Chilean Cabernet … and with Casas de Vacquería winemaker, Alvaro Arriagada fast gathering coveted awards for his wines - both at home and worldwide - this is definitely one to savour!

"Plenty of fresh black and red currant fruit flavours, laden with spice and menthol. Medium to full bodied, with a restrained, elegant finish. Drink with roast and grilled meats or hard cheeses."
