Description

Marqus de Casa Concha Heritage 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, from El mariscal Vineyard, Puente Alto, Maipo Valley.

Taste Profile: A deep, dark red colour. Great aromatic intensity with upfront notes of juicy cherries, cassis, cedar, blackberries, black tar and fresh tobacco. The mouth is highly concentrated with a silky-smooth texture and firm tannins, which become apparent at the start of the long finish

WInemaking Process: Destemmed & crushed after selection, fermentation takes place in closed stainless steel tanks with daily pumpover for about 10 days. The wine is then kept on skins for another 10 days before being racked and undergoing spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, of which 35% new.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Malolactic Fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
