Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a little Cab Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, all from the alluvial soils of the old Tocornal estate, where the Andean foothills meet the Alto Maipo.

Perfumed and complex on the nose, with outstanding aromas of ripe red and black fruits over subtle notes of crème de cassis, tobacco, and leather. Pepper, cinnamon, and dark chocolate notes. In palate is smooth but structured, with silky tannins. A blend consisting mostly of Cab Sauv, with a little Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot to round things out.
Made of fruit grown in the Apalta and Marchigue regions of what is perhaps Chile's most well-known terroir, the Colchagua Valley, Purple Angel Carmenere is this varietal at its best. 70% of the wine sees 18 months in new French oak, giving it distinct dark chocolate and tobacco notes, and the fruit is well-expressed, with a hint of dried herbs.
Deep red leaning into purple, as is characteristic of Carmenère. Intense blackberry and blueberry on the nose, accompanied by pleasing spice notes of bell pepper and black pepper, rounded out by time in French oak barrels, delivering a very complex wine. The palate of the wine shows extreme smoothness and potency, with a very long, pleasant finish. 85% Carmenere, 15% Cabernet Franc.
It Ain't Fancy, this Cabernet Franc with plum, herb, and bell pepper aromas with soft tannins. Drink chilled, shake to integrate sediment, and drink quickly.

A great representation of Itata's old bush vines of Cinsault and Pais, this wine is light in colour and expresses its original rootstock on granite soils with bright red fruit.
