Tasting notes:

This delicious wine is further evidence of Viña La Rosa’s commitment to the Peumo zone in the Cachapoal Valley. Beautifully crafted, the wine has a deepish ruby colour with a garnet rim indicating the beginnings of development. With black and red fruits overlaid with tobacco, forest floor and red pepper nuances, the palate exhibits concentration and racy acidity, and silky-textured tannins giving structure. Earthy, but elegant and integrated, I would pair this with a garbanzo bean, red onion, Savoy cabbage and chorizo casserole. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
