WINE DESCRIPTION
Frontera Shiraz is a fruity and medium-bodied red wine produced by Concha y Toro, one of the largest and most respected wine producers in Chile. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Central Valley appellation, which benefits from warm days and cool nights, allowing for optimal ripening and flavor development. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and partially aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is characterized by its deep ruby color, intense aromas of blackberry and spice, and a smooth and velvety texture. Frontera Shiraz is a perfect choice for those who enjoy bold and flavorful red wines.
