Product Notes

Caliterra Edición Limitada ‘M’ is a unique and premium wine from Chile. This limited-edition wine is made using hand-picked grapes grown in the Colchagua Valley, one of the most prestigious wine regions in Chile. It is made using a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Syrah grapes, creating a rich and complex flavor profile. After a careful vinification process, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 16 months, which adds structure and depth to the final product. The result is a bold, full-bodied wine with intense aromas of black fruits and spices, and a long, smooth finish. It’s a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, hearty stews, and mature cheeses.

Tasting Notes

This wine's garnet-red colour of medium intensity stands out immediately, revealing a larger presence of grenache in this year’s blend. It displays great complexity on the nose, slowly showing a vast array of aromas which start with herbal and spicy notes, like rosemary and grey pepper, which give way to soft fruity aromas of cassis and blueberries and are completed with soft mineral touches. Floral aromas, as well as some citric notes, such as mandarin, also emerge. Its rich and vibrant acidity stands out on the palate, along with its juicy and fresh structure, making this wine a great Mediterranean blend with a long cellaring potential.

About the Winery

You might find only a handful of companies that may produce modern wines rooted in their rich heritage. The Chilean wine label of Caliterra is one of them. The Mondavi Family, one of the popular names in the American wine industry, and the Chilean wine company Errazuriz, joined together to create the Caliterra Wines in 1996.

Since then, the company has been making high-quality wines that blend modern techniques and the rich heritage of the place of its origin – the Colchagua Valley. This particular valley is known for its excellent climate, location and diverse soil conditions. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate prevailing here, this region experiences cold nights suitable for producing high-quality red varietals.

The Caliterra Vineyard, located right in the middle of the Colchagua Valley, stretches to around 1000 hectares, out of which 75% remains active even today. The vineyard is well-protected by Lake Rapel, Apalta Valley, Santiago and the Pacific Ocean on its boundaries. The vines are grown at reasonable altitudes with continuous exposure to the sun and gentle breezes. Thanks to these conditions, the grapes grown on these vineyards are balanced, structured and full-bodied.

The first-ever vines were planted here in 1997. During that year, 210 hectares of vineyards were used for planting Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah, Malbec and Viognier vines. In 2005, 32 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carmenere vines were added to the Caliterra vineyards. A bevy of sustainable viticultural activities is currently going on in these vineyards to ensure utmost protection to the environment.

Minimal use of nitrogen fertilisers, reduced use of herbicides, eco-friendly products and programs, reduced energy usage, etc., are some examples of these sustainable techniques followed at the vineyards. In 2017, Vina Caliterra became the first winery in Chile to get the CarboNZero certification, because it had cultivated its own forests in the huge expanses of farms.
