Good Organic? YES!

Natura Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Valley, Chile

Organically grown grapes Grape Variety: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carmenere, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec.

The grapes are hand-picked in mid-April. After the crush, the must is transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation tanks for a six-day cold soak before undergoing alcoholic fermentation with gentle low-volume pump-overs. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation. Nearly 40% of this wine is aged in oak barrels.

Bright ruby in color, with aromas of ripe fruit and oak, chocolate and vanilla. Lush and complex with a sweet
and attractive taste and good concentration. Powerful with good body and persistent finish.
Alcohol Content: 14%.
