2002 Pargua, Cabernet Sauvignon - Out of Stock at present
Tasting Notes:
The grapes were hand-picked specifically during the last week of April '01 when the moon reached an optimum lunar cycle, and have spent 10 months in French oak barrels.
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 ..?

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 now!
VINEDOS EMILIANA ORGÁNICO
Produced by the great man himself, Alvaro Espinoza. Further to studying enology at both the Universities of Santiago and Bordeaux, Alvaro worked at such famous estates as Chateau Margaux and California's Bonterra estate, before returning home to Chile.
Fully committed to both organic and bio-dynamic viticulture, he has adopted a bio-dynamic approach which has given birth to Emiliana Orgánico, a unique project in CHILE and pioneer in Latin America. This project is the result of the search of the maximum quality, through productive processes, which are shown in the final product, around the concern and respect for the ground, by sustentable agriculture, minimizing the artificial processes and the use of synthetic products, fundamentally seeking to anticipate the illnesses before treating them, which implies a very delicate work on each plant.
The vineyard also grows acacia trees to make homeopathic treatments, which are subsequently used in the wine - Alpacas and geese are free to roam around, acting as nature's very own effective weed controllers.
