Winemaking Grapes are manually harvested into 300-kilo bins and taken to the winery. Upon arrival, clusters are placed along a sorting conveyor belt and, once de-stemmed, grapes are placed in concrete vats. Winemaking per se begins with cold maceration, followed by alcoholic fermentation and post-fermentation maceration for 20 days. Forty percent of this wine was aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, while the remaining 60% was left unoaked so as to highlight its fruity flavors and aromas and best preserve the soft, silky feel of its tannins. This wine was filtered before being bottled.

Tasting Notes View: Gifted with deep ruby red and violet hues, this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals low-to-medium depth to the eye. Nose: fresh aromas of red and dark fruit emerge, combined with herbal and spicy notes that make it really intriguing. Palate: it offers a gentle, fresh and juicy mouthfeel with a lingering, pleasant finish. This wine showcases exquisite varietal typicity from its notes of paprika. Vanilla and chocolate hints are also perceived, which tell the story of its aging in oak.
Pairings Wild foul, fatty meats and mature cheese.

The Story
The Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from Kaiken is a faithful example of the varietal expression of the Mendoza terroir. It is anelegant, sensuous wine with ample fruit, a wide range of aromas, and just the right amount of influence from six months' aging in French oak.
