The 2018 Albis combines 70% Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Carmenère aged for 18 months in new French barrels. An intense garnet red in color, the nose offers dark fruit such as blackberry and blackcurrant with attractive hints of cedar, bay leaf and sour cherry. With the terse tannins one finds in the region, it begins expansively before tightening up a little to deliver intense flavor followed by a lactic, long and fruity finish. A complex and nuanced wine. ... More details

This has very rich, ripe and intense, red-plum and dark-berry aromas and flavors with a smooth, crunchy and vivid palate that holds such fresh berry flavors. 60% cabernet sauvignon and 40% carmenere. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

A harmonious blend, offering dusty, dried rose petal and cedar notes amid a luscious core of blackberry, cassis and olive. Ends with fine tannins and a note of roasted red pepper. Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère. Drink now. 150 cases imported.

Region: Valle Central

The Valle Central of Chile is widely regarded as being one of the oldest 'New World' wine regions of earth, with a history that extends back over five hundred years to the time of the first European settlers in South America. Whilst they were mainly preoccupied with planting vines for the production of sacramental wines, today, the wine industry of Valle Central has never been stronger. With a wide range of vines flourishing in the region, thanks to the many micro-climates the valley provides, wineries can make the most of their particular location and produce fully ripened grapes of exquisite flavour and character. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Carmenere grow very well all throughout the various areas within Valle Central, and the region is developing a serious reputation for excellence on the world stage.

Country: Chile

When considering the rich and fertile central valleys of Chile, where we find most of the oldest, grandest and established wineries, it is difficult to imagine a more suited landscape for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Mineral rich soils, eight months of sunshine per year, oceanic winds and clear water running down the mountainsides – it is little wonder that the imported Old World grapes do so well here. Chile is renowned world-wide for producing highly drinkable wines, packed full of fruit-forward character and enjoyed young and fresh, as well as being home to more complex wines reminiscent of many Old World varieties. Whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as being Chile's 'flagship' grape varietal, equally fine produce comes from Chardonnay grapes (indeed, the Sol de Sol Chardonnays are widely agreed to be amongst the New World's finest white wines) the plummy Merlot and silky, intense Pinot Noir.
