Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red with intense aromas of red fruits and cassis. Soft notes of plum and blackberry followed by a hint of vanilla. Abundant flavors of ripe cherries and plums up front highlight balanced acidity, soft tannins and good structure. Full-bodied with a long and concentrated finish accented by fruit and vanilla notes. Perfect with grilled steak, spicy pork or chicken dishes, and savory garlic or pepper flavors. Pair this wine with ripe cheeses, like Emmental, gruyere, or soft, herbed brie. Root: 1 Cabernet is also a great match with dark chocolate or rich, creamy desserts.

Root:1 is the first in Chile to be certified 100% sustainable by Wines of Chile and the first winery in the country to adopt carbon offset measures. With vineyards located in the Maipo, Colchagua, and Casablanca Valleys, Root:1 maintains a longstanding commitment to sustainable viticulture that ensures all farming and winemaking practices are specifically tailored to nurture the unique attributes of each vineyard, the environment, and the local community. Under the careful stewardship of Head Winemaker Ángel Marchant, the results of this commitment are evident in the quality of the entire Root:1 range.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere flourish in the warm, dry, sun-drenched Maipo and Colchagua Valleys, respectively. Located between the massive Andes Mountains and Pacific's low Coastal Mountains, these valleys are world-renowned for producing outstanding red wines with rich color, full body, and the true varietal character that Root:1 is known for.
The cold-climate vineyards of Casablanca are perfectly suited for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Maritime breezes keep temperatures cool, while daytime sun encourages a lengthy growing season.
