With an intense and deep red color, this blend is firm and dense with rich and chewy tannins. Lovely aromas of blackberries and spices paired with mocha and vanilla come out in the nose. Elegant and complex in its full bodied palate, it comes together in a long and pleasant finish. One of the very best red blends in Chile today.

Viña Aresti was founded in 1951 by Vincente Aresti when he purchased a winery in the historic winemaking Curicó Valley.  In 2012, his daughters Begoña and Ana María Aresti took over. They have continued their dad’s push to produce quality wines, obtaining international quality certifications (ISO 9001, ISO14001, BRC, HACCP) and Wines of Chile’s  environmental sustainability certification.
