Clos de lolol
Red blend
Variety
40% Carmenere ; 30% Syrah ; 13% Cabernet Sauvignon ; 7% Cabernet Franc ; 6% Petit Verdot ; 4% Malbec
Location
All grapes come from our estate at Hacienda Araucano at Lolol. Planted with no rootstock, the vines which we cultivate, are among the last vines of the world not to have known Phylloxera.
Tasting notes
Complex and fruity, with red fruit and black cherry notes. A pronounced herbal character brings freshness, complemented by toasted aromas, tobacco, and chocolate.
Deep purple color. A versatile wine that pairs excellently with oven-roasted meats and dishes prepared with red wine reductions, such as lamb shank in red wine and lamb «lollipops». It also complements sweet and savory options like bacon- and plum-stuffed pork tenderloin.The Vintage
The 2022 vintage in Chile was characterized by high temperatures and
persistent drought, especially in central valleys like Colchagua. These
conditions led to an early harvest and lower yields, concentrating aromas in
the berries. Wines from this vintage exhibit remarkable aromatic intensity,
pronounced structure, and good aging potential.Suggestions
This is a well-rounded wine that can be enjoyed now or in up to six years time, accompanied by substantial dishes, game in wine sauce or barbecued red meat.
