Product Notes

Perez Cruz Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied red wine from the renowned Maipo Valley, Chile. Crafted from premium hand-picked grapes, this wine is a perfect blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%), Syrah (7%), and Carmenere (3%). On the nose, this wine contains notes of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla with a hint of smoke and leather. On the palate, flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and spices lead to a long and velvety finish. This wine is aged for 14 months in oak barrels, which imparts a smooth texture and adds to the complexity of the flavor. Enjoy this wine with hearty meat dishes or a cheese board.

Tasting Notes

Intense notes of ripe red fruits are enhanced by vanilla, black pepper and nuances of wild herbs. Creamy and concentrated on the palate, with a nice grip.

About the Winery

Perez Cruz

If you are looking for wines that reflect the true character and intensity of the Maipo Alto Valley in Chile, you should try the Perez Cruz wines, made from Bordeaux varieties of grapes.

Focusing exclusively on red wines, Perez Cruz is a family-owned winery located at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The stony soils and the Mediterranean climate of this place help to produce rich-bodied grapes with natural acidity. Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship varietal of this label.

All the wines produced here are of the single-estate type; therefore, the company has a lot of control in the winemaking process right from the vineyards till the time the wines are bottled. The expert winemakers employed at the winery here help in following sustainable winemaking practices in the winery. Some of these practices include following minimal intervention during the cultivation & harvest processes, maintaining a systematic approach while handling the fruits and using natural gravity to feed the grapes in the machines.

The chill mountain air, along with the breeze from the Pacific Ocean helps the fruits to ripen slowly but naturally. Thanks to this the acidity and polished tannins found in the grapes found here stand out remarkably well. Currently, the group owns around 150 hectares of vineyards.The composition of varietals posted here is as follows – 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carmenere, 5% Syrah, 5% Malbec, 5% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot are grown on the Liguai Estate. Oak barrels are used for fermentation purposes at the winery here.
