Maquis Cabernet Franc 2019 750 ml

Producer Notes

Viña Maquis is located in the heart of the Colchagua Valley between the Tinguiririca River and the Chimbarongo Creek. The soils of this area are deep alluvial with a two-meter layer of highly concentrated clay set over a deeper layer of gravel—brought by the rivers—that provide natural drainage which allows the grapes to lose the green characteristics very early in the season. The waterways also help moderate extreme weather conditions throughout the year by protecting the vineyards from spring frosts and lowering the maximum summer temperatures. These features are distinctive of Viña Maquis and uncommon in the rest of the Colchagua Valley.

Our Cabernet Franc comes mainly from two blocks, one of masal material and the second is clonal, both harvested during the third week of March together with the Cabernet Sauvignon and finally the Carménère during the first week of April.

The 2019 season was characterized by a dry spring and summer with few cloudy days, which helped temperatures to be slightly above normal. The months of March and April also had higher than normal temperatures. Grape production was 12% lower than expected, but with very healthy and balanced grapes. The aromatic quality, balance and concentration of the 2019 wines is outstanding.
