Winemaker Notes

The Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a selection of blocks that are carefully managed with lower yields for increased intensity. Intensely fruity aromas with good volume and a powerful, well-balanced palate.

    One of five varietals in the Limited Edition range is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Edition that, as all the wines here, always contains a small percentage of other grapes, 4% Petit Verdot in this case. The Cabernet comes from their oldest vineyards (ranging from 18 to 22 years of age), and the idea here is to show how five different varieties express the same place. The grapes were picked two weeks earlier than the average harvest date to keep the fresh fruit and herbal character of the grape in the zone. The grapes fermented in stainless steel after a four-day cold soak with a mixture of native and selected yeasts. It went through malolactic and 15 months aging in 225-liter French oak barrels. There's a little more depth and complexity in here compared with the Reserva, with a darker shade of fruit, a similar sleek palate and those peppery flavors in the finish, spicier, with notes of cola nuts. It's also minty and balsamic, only from alluvial soils with slightly older vines, which is translated in the seriousness of the wine.

    A red with plenty of spice, berry and chocolate character. Medium body, firm and silky tannins. Delicious now.

Perez Cruz Winery Video

The Pérez Cruz family’s primary objective is to express their estate’s personality through wines with character and identity. The wines are 100% single-estate origin, which affords the winery total control of the outstanding fruit which arrives at full maturity and with uniform ripeness. French-trained winemaker German Lyon, assisted by the occasional consult from Álvaro Espinoza, one of the leading biodynamic experts in the country, takes a gentle and diligent approach to handling the fruit, which flows through the multi-level gravity-fed winery without pumps.

Here in the rolling foothills of the Andes Mountains, soils are deep, stony, and poor in nutrients. The Mediterranean-like climate offers dry and very sunny summers with vast swings between daytime and nighttime temperatures—the ideal combination for producing high-quality wines with ripe fruit and driving acidity. Rocky soils and a temperate microclimate create exceptional growing conditions. The cooling influence of the Andes mountain air mingles with mild Pacific Ocean breezes to create the conditions for slow ripening and long hang times, which lead to fresh, vibrant fruit flavors married to local aromatic herbs, mouthwatering natural acidity and polished tannins.

The winery was built of native types of wood with two barrel-shaped central naves, exterior arches that evoke the passing of wind through trees, and stone foundations that recall the structures the Incas left behind in the area. Its sustainable design incorporates a gravity-flow process and has a three-million-liter capacity. By taking advantage of the conditions below ground, temperature and humidity are controlled naturally in the barrel cellar, which has a capacity for 5,000 barrels.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

The Maipo Valley is Chile’s most famous wine region. Set in the country’s Central Valley, it is warm and quite dry, often necessitating the use of irrigation. Alluvial soils predominate but are supplemented with loam and clay.

The climate in Maipo is best-suited for ripe, full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon (the region’s most widely planted grape), Merlot, Syrah and Carmenère, a Bordeaux variety that has found a successful home in Chile.

White wines are also produced with great prosperity, especially near the cooler coast, include Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
