June of 2010.- Continuing with Castillo de Molina’s style, but showing a greater fruit intensity along an excellent balance obtained from a year of aging in barrels, is how San Pedro’s Winemaker, Marco Puyo, describes the new vintage 2008 of the variety Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Season 2008 was a good one for San Pedro”, states Puyo, “the vineyard’s yields were lower than the previous years, due to climatic factors, what allowed us to obtain much more concentrated and high quality wines.”
This wine is made of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, grown in the Cachapoal Valley. The vineyards are planted on the piedmont of the Andes Mountains, on clay and moderately sloped soils. The vinification starts with a cold maceration, then, alcoholic fermentation takes place with selected yeasts and controlled temperatures, and later on, 100% of the final blend was aged for one year in French oak barrels.
This new Cabernet’s vintage is facing a great challenge, being born within one of the Chilean Reserve wine brands with the largest amount of specialized acknowledgements. Previous harvest, year 2007, set the bar really high by attaining very relevant international reviews and awards, among them, three Gold Medals in the competitions Florida Wine and Food Festival Wine Judging 2009 in the United States, the French Challenge International du Vin 2009 and worldwide prestigious Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, on its 2009 edition.
Castillo de Molina Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 from the Cachapoal Valley is ready and available to delight wine lovers all around the world!
