Torres Conde de Superunda

Torres Conde de Superunda, Cabernet Sauvignon from Central Valley Chile. Deep red wine made from grapes from older vines located in the best parts of the Torres vineyards around the town of Curico. The bouquet is beautifully developed with aromas of cassis, leather and vanilla as well as a powerful, full yet cored palate.

Cabernet Sauvignon is best known in Bordeaux where, together with merlot and cabernet franc, it produces high-class wines. It needs a lot of heat to ripen, otherwise it will become green and juicy with a taste of green pepper. Too much heat makes it soft and jammy, with a blackcurrant flavor. Cabernet Sauvignon produces very aromatic wines with scents of blackcurrant, vanilla, spices (pepper), tobacco, plum, cherry, toasted bread and cedar. The wines usually have a long shelf life, have a lot of tannin and in principle have to mature in barriques. By applying modern vinification techniques, young wines can now also be drinkable quickly. In general, the wines have a high phenol content, they are purple (young) or dark red (old) and have a lot of strength and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon can be found all over the world. Wherever someone wants to make a ‘serious’ wine, cabernet sauvignon is planted.
