Product Details

Altair comes from the stoniest sectors of the vineyard that San Pedro has in the Alto Cachapoal zone, near the foot of the Andes, and from vineyards that are about 20 years old. This vintage's blend is 82% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc, 7% syrah, and the rest is carmenere. It was aged (70% barrels and 30% foudres) for about 16 months, and then the varieties were blended and left in foudres for another five months. This is a great step forward in the development of this wine, which has been produced since 2002, in the sense of interpreting a place, especially due to the level of clarity and freshness offered by the fresh and direct fruity aromas and flavors. There are red fruits, there are herbal notes, there are spicy and earthy tones, but most of all, there are ripe fruits that expand on the palate with their freshness and depth. One to keep in mind when taking a look at the character of Andean wines from Cachapoal. [Drink into the early 2030s.] Score - 97. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2022)
