In 1996 we decided to tackle the challenge of making our first ultra premium wine; the chosen variety was Pinot Noir and for its inaugural production we set apart 20 barrels of the best fruit the `96 vintage had provided.
This exquisite range’s name was coined after those 20 initial barrels. Pinot Noir was followed by Cabernet Sauvignon in 1997, Merlot in 1998, Chardonnay – Cono Sur’s first ultra-premium white wine – in 2002, Sauvignon Blanc in 2005, and the latest member of the family, a Syrah from the 2008 harvest.
Tasting notes:
A deep ruby red, this cabernet sauvignon is extremely aromatic, displaying aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, along with cassis and hints of ash, white pepper and spices. Great concentration and volume in the mouth with full, round tannins.
