Classic Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

The 2019–2020 season saw a very dry winter, just as Chile has had for various years now. The low availability of water explains the very significant drop in production yields (approximately 15–20%) impacting the final quality of the wines. Spring was free of significant frosts in the Colchagua vineyards, so there was excellent growing conditions. Summer had high temperatures that accelerated the ripening processes of the grapes, resulting in an earlier harvest date for the white and red grapes by almost a month, in some cases. The low fruit charge in the vineyards meant that bunches at harvest time had small grapes, positively affecting the concentration of aromas, flavors, and color, in the case of the red grapes, creating very high quality for processing. Both the Apalta and Marchigüe vineyards had timely and organized harvests, defined as always by a tasting of the berries, which allowed winemakers to positively project how the resulting wines will be.
