Ramirana, Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2020

Ramirana was born in the Chilean countryside, linked to the traditions of the Criollo horse (its likeness is found on each bottle) which are native to the Pampas and known for their hardiness and strength. Specialising in producing balanced, elegant and fresh wines; suffice it to say the fruit takes the reins with Ramirana and their wines are not only delicious but also represent superb value. Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2020 was taken from Ramirana's best plots across the Maipo Valley. It is in fact a blend of 93% Cab, 5% Syrah and 2% Petit Verdot; with the latter two grapes both softening the wine and adding a real depth of flavour. The grapes were all fermented together before being aged in oak for 12-months and in bottle for 2 years prior to release. Deep ruby red in colour with violet hues at the rim. Intense notes of blackcurrants, complemented by black cherries and wild berries. The palate is concentrated, with good body, firm but elegant tannins and a long finish. A great wine to pair with mature cheeses or a steak.
