This wine comes from the Central Valley, south of Santiago. A vast winegrowing area, it has an ideal climate for viticulture, especially on account of its semi-arid Mediterranean climate. TASTING NOTES Aspect: Intense ruby red. Nose: The complex and elegant nose opens on raspberry and blackcurrant aromas, perfectly combined with toasted hazelnut and mocha notes. Palate: Fresh in mouth, the mid-palate expresses red fruit, black fruits and blueberry flavours, fine tannic structure, then goes on to show all its complexity in subtle cocoa and roasted coffee notes. The long and expressive finish reveals all elegance of Chilean Cabernet.🍷 #chileancabernet #winegeek #winestagram #winetastings #sommlife #sommelierlifestyle (at Bègles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5poJbiqW34/?igshid=1wrr60owzpvle

AOC Gaillac La Croix des Marchands Grape varieties: 100% Mauzac Harvest and vinification : The “Methode Ancestrale” is a sparkling wine production method using yeasts and sugars of the grapes only, as opposed to the "Traditional Method" (Champagne, Cava, Prosecco,…) approach where selected sugar and yeast is added. The first fermentation is slowed down and paused by the cold, retaining a sufficient sugar content. The second fermentation in the bottle, which generates carbon dioxide bubbles in the wine, is practiced using only sugar that remained after the first fermentation. Soil : Clay-gravel Tasting notes: Pale yellow color with green sheen and intense nose of pear and medlar. Fine and elegant foam, beautiful acidulous and fruity expression. Wine combining freshness, roundness and the typical pear and apple notes of the Mauzac grape variety #gaillac #sparklingwine #frenchwine #winetastings #cafaformations #sommelierlifestyle (at Cafa Formation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5iV-w1KBhW/?igshid=5m64llm9yyvg
