The Echeverría family came to Chile in the 1750s, from a little town called Amezqueta in the Basque region of Spain. They established agricultural crops and planted vines. Today the company is a global enterprise. Echeverria has always been at the forefront of the modern Chilean wine industry while honouring tradition and respecting the environment. This tradition is expressed through their wines which are classic and elegant in style and showcase intense fruit aromas and flavours which are the hallmarks of Chilean wine thanks to the country’s privileged terroir and climatic conditions. Echeverria has an extensive portfolio of over 30 wines from over 10 different grape varieties and several wine growing regions.
Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001. Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels. Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.
Tasting Notes
Intense and lively, with a juicy mouthful of ripe red fruits, a smooth palate and a round tasty finish. Cabernet Sauvignon’s natural partner is always meat, so we recommend this wine for a barbecue or with a juicy steak. Goes well with charcuterie, roasted vegetables or anything in a rich tomato sauce, even white fish with chorizo and tomato sauce.
Method
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, from ungrafted selected clones of pre-phylloxera French rootstock with 5% Carmenère. The fruit is sourced from the Central Valley (Entre Cordillera) from a selection of different valleys in the Central region, including Curico, Maule and Colchagua. The grapes were hand -picked in 18 kg. boxes and carried to the winery immediately after cutting. Carefully selected before processing. Cold maceration for 12 hours to enhance fruit flavors. Fermented in stainless steel tanks for 7 days at 25-28ºC controlled temperature to dryness with selected yeasts. 100% malolactic fermentation and stored in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until bottling.
