Altair Cachapoal Valley - This is one of Chile's finest Cabernets. Intense, deep colour with perfumed warm notes of cedar and ripe bramble fruit. On the nose pine, spice, tobacco, raspberry and red berries. With a full and rich palate. This is drinking exceptionally well not but will continue to evolve and gain character over the next 5 years.
With a dazzling level of investment and a pioneering spirit applied to both viticulture and winemaking, Altair have taken the challenge to produce some of the world's best Cabernet seriously.
Nestled at the very top of the Totihue Valley in the foothills of the imposing Andes mountains, Altair's impressive architecture is a sure statement of intent but it has been more than matched by the quality of the initial releases. Winemaker Ana Maria Cumsille crafts exquisite wines from this steep, naturally low yielding, deep gravely site.
