Tarapaca Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 750 mL
Introduction:
Tarapaca Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown in the Maipo Valley. The northeast-facing vineyards benefit from high light exposure and cool afternoon breezes, which help to moderate the high daytime temperatures. These vineyards experience significant temperature fluctuations, dropping as much as 22°C between day and night. This creates a perfect environment for the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, enhancing its complexity and fruity aromas.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: Deep red, typical of a well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Nose: Rich and fruity with aromas of plum, blackberry, and cassis, complemented by subtle hints of bay leaves.
- Palate: A medium-bodied wine with smooth tannins and a well-balanced structure. The oak aging imparts flavors of cloves, black pepper, and vanilla, adding depth and complexity to the wine.
Pairing Suggestions:
- Cheese: Pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Cheddar.
- Red meats: Ideal with grilled steaks, lamb, or roast beef.
- Mushroom risotto: Complements the earthy richness of a mushroom risotto.
