Only produced in the best years, Azul is the pinnacle of the Tarapacá range. It’s a thrilling blend of both Cabernets plus Syrah and Petit Verdot, from elevated vineyards in the Maipo Valley. Matured in French oak, it’s rich, powerful, yet elegant.

Complexity of flavour in fine wine can come about in a variety of ways. Etiqueta Azul achieves it from a blend of grapes grown in different yet perfectly matched sites on Viña Tarapacá’s Rosario estate. Soils vary from poor and volcanic for minerality and length in the wine, to gravel and sand for intensity, and clay for fuller fruit flavour. It’s a Cabernet-led blend, matched with velvety Syrah and peppery Petit Verdot, all aged in barrel for up to 16 months. Only made in exceptional vintages, beautifully crafted and full of multi layered berry fruit, herbal nuances and elegant spice. No wonder this wine won Double Gold at the Annual Wine Awards in Chile! Decant early and serve in large glasses with rare chateaubriand or beef Wellington.
