Deep red with a purple hue. Aromas reminiscent of blackcurrant, blueberries and tobacco are complemented with notes of chocolate and spice from the French oak barrels the wine was aged in. This Cabernet Sauvignon is fresh and structured, with ample tannins and excellent length.Red Meats in generalFounded in1993 by Juan Cuneo Solari as one of the first wineries in the Casablanca Valley, today it is still family owned and managed. The family have 245 hectares of vines in the Santa Rosa Estate, located on the west side of the Casablanca Valley. Plantings include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Syrah and Pinot Noir, all drip irrigated from subterranean wells. In addition, much of their Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere is produced from 35 year old vines grown in Quinta Tilcoco in the more southerly Rapel Valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for the Gran Reserva and Gran Bosque wines come not from Rapel, but from Maipo Alto, located in the southern part of Santiago alongside the Andes. The Casas del Bosque philosophy is based on the constant search for excellence, quality instead of quantity is at the heart of their viticultural practices. In 2013 and again in 2014 Casas del Bosque was awarded top honours at the International Wine & Spirit Competition as Chilean Wine Producer of the Year.
