100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2024
D.O.: Maipo Valley, Chile
Climate: Mediterranean climate, with four clearly defined seasons and significant temperature differences between day and night.
Soil: Deep alluvial soils.
Harvest: The first grapes for this wine were manually harvested on March 20th, 2024.
Winemaker: Benjamín Leiva
Fermentation: Once the grape clusters arrived at the winery, they were manually selected and then passed through the destemmer with a gentle “Pac Man” crush, before going through a cooling exchanger and into a stainless steel tank at 15°C. On the second day of reception, the must was inoculated with selected yeasts at 15°C. As fermentation progressed, the temperature gradually increased, reaching a maximum of 26°C. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine remained in contact with its skins for approximately 5 to 10 days at its peak temperature, with daily tastings determining the conclusion of this stage. The “free-run wine” was then drained and kept in tank for about 20 days to undergo malolactic fermentation.
Ageing: After malolactic fermentation, the wine entered its aging phase for 10 months (two winters) in French oak barrels of various uses, with 15% contact with new oak.
Alcohol: 13.5%
Residual Sugar: 3.5 g/l

pH: 3.51
Colour: Shiny ruby colour with violet hues.
Aromas: Intense fresh red fruit aromas such as cherries and plums, with light spicy notes and a hint of herbs.
Palate: Juicy, flavourful palate with good acidity and a pleasant texture that invites you to continue enjoying it, and a long and pleasant finish.
This wine pairs well with marbled red meat cooked in many different ways, such as casserole, barbecued or stewed.

The first pick.A Maipo Cabernet.
Day One Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 begins with hand-picked fruit from Maipo Valley. Deep alluvial soils form the setting for a wine made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon.
Ten months in French oak add a frame to cherry, plum, spice and herbs. The palate is juicy, balancing Cabernet’s character with an approachable texture.

Juicy fruit.
A generous cut.
The producer recommends red meats with a little marbling. Simply grilled steak gives the wine’s fruit and herbal detail a natural setting, with oak-derived spice adding another layer.
