Pargua Cabernet Sauvignon

Pargua Cabernet Sauvignon

This amazing bio-dynamic wine is only produced in very small quantities during certain lunar cycles.
Vina Pargua is a very small vineyard located in Alto Jahuel, Maipo Valley. The winemaking and viticulture are in the hands of the incredibly talented Alvaro Espinoza, who focuses on producing just one red wine of a very high quality and in very limited quantities.
The grapes were hand-picked specifically during the last week of April ’01 when the moon reached an optimum lunar cycle – 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Syrah, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Carmenere – and have spent 10 months in French oak barrels. Only 2000 cases of this vintage have ever been produced ….. and you’re lucky enough to be able to order some from www.vinvinodirect.com as long as stocks last.

Priced at only £8.50 this is a fantastic wine to drink  – click here to buy online.

Tasting Notes
Cedar and red fruits and a nostril-leaping, fruit-packed nose will always introduce you to Pargua. Well structured with balanced acidity and tannins which leave a lovely lick around the gums. Hints of spice, tobacco and coffee on the palate leading into a firmly flavoured finish. Soft, round, jammy and warm.
Dare we compare this wine to a St. Emilion Grand Cru ..?…we’ll let you be the judge of that.
