Adobe Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon has attractive aromas of blackberry accompanied by spicy notes. The palate is concentrated and smooth with vibrant plum, red fruit and a delicate herbal note. Tannins are ripe and provide welcome grip and structure.

Adobe Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is ideal with well-seasoned, strong-flavoured dishes, stuffed cannelloni, grilled beef, pork, or poultry. It also goes very nicely with ripe cheeses, salami, ham, and pastrami.

Vineyard and Winemaking

The Central Valley zone extends from the Maipo Valley in the north to the Maule Valley in the south.  This entire region features good soil drainage, high fertility, and tremendous agricultural land, particularly for red grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and  Carmenère, amongst others.  The climate is Mediterranean with warm summers and broad daily ranges between day and night-time temperatures, the winters are cold and wet allowing for good vine development and recuperation.  The soils are of alluvial origin with moderate depth

The grapes for Adobe Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon were hand picked in mid-April and underwent a pre-fermentation cold soak lasting one week to extract fresh fruit characteristics.  Alcoholic fermentation took place at 25º–28ºC with daily pumpovers.  The wine remained on its skins for a period, after which the free run wine was separated from its skins and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally.  20% of this wine was aged in oak barrels for 6 months and later reblended to achieve a more complex character.
