When God created Cabernet Sauvignon, He created Maipo at the same time.

Maipo has everything that Cabernet needs to grow and make world-class wines:

• 300 days of sunshine - and very little rain or humidity - which gives dreamy growing conditions
• A blend of ancient river bed and volcanic soils - which gives the grapes extra complexity
• And warm days and cold nights, which extends the growing season so Cabernet gets the time it needs to ripen to perfection.

One sniff of this wine and you’ll see what I’m talking about. The intensity and complexity on the nose is classic Cab - cassis, mint, leather, chocolate.

Connie sources the grapes from a 30 year-old vineyard in the foothills of the Andes. The vineyard owners, a well-known Chilean family, make an iconic wine from the same site that costs over $100.

The wine is elegant and structured, with ripe dark fruit and herbs on the palate. And just a touch of dryness on the finish, that has it begging for good food.

As for the label? This is Connie and her sister Mariane having a bit of fun. Mariane works with local artists on the labels, and they change subtly each year.

This is high quality Cabernet with a Schwaderer twist. Give it a go.
