Variety :
100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Origin :
Haras de Pirque own vineyards, Maipo Valley. Grapes were hand picked in April. The parcels selected for the Character line undergo intense hand management throughout the year to produce grapes of high quality. The low yields coupled with removal of leaves at the bunch area and continual canopy management produce optimal fruit flavor grapes. Yield of 6, 5 ton/ha.

Vinification :
Individual vineyard parcels were fermented separately and pumped over regularly for soft and elegant tannin extraction. After the wines are pressed off skins, they are racked into barrel for undergoing malolactic fermentation. The blend was made in December of the same year. After 14 months in new French oak and one year old barrels, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

Alcohol :
14.5%

Character Cabernet 2004 has excellent fruit concentration, ripe black berries and dried fruits in the mouth combined with a complex and elegant attack. This wine presents a spicy final with toffee and chocolate being a great performer of Upper Maipo Valley. Drink from now until 2012.
