WINE DESCRIPTION
Carta Vieja Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium red wine produced by Viña Carta Vieja, a renowned winery located in the Maule Valley of Chile. The wine is made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the winery's own vineyards, which benefit from the region's warm climate and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of blackcurrant, cherry, and vanilla. This wine is a perfect example of the classic Cabernet Sauvignon style, with a full body, firm tannins, and a long, smooth finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Carta Vieja Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied Chilean red wine with aromas of ripe dark fruits, blackberries, and cherries, along with hints of earthy tobacco and toasted oak.On the palate, it is structured and well balanced, with flavors of dark chocolate, licorice, and sweet tobacco. The finish is long and lingering, with hints of spice and ripe fruit. Enjoy this smooth, elegant wine now or cellar it for a few years to experience its full potential.
