Etiqueta Negra Cabernet Sauvignon

Founded in 1874, Tarapacá is Chile's oldest continuously operating winery, and the Etiqueta Negra — Black Label — sits at the entry point of a portfolio built on Maipo Valley terroir. Maipo Valley, flanked by the Andes to the east and the Coastal Range to the

west, channels cool Pacific air through the valley floor each afternoon, slowing ripening and preserving acidity in what is otherwise a warm, semi-arid growing zone.

Soils here are predominantly alluvial gravel over clay, draining freely to stress the vine and concentrate berry character in Cabernet Sauvignon. The Etiqueta Negra undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel before a period of oak aging — a combination that delivers approachable tannin structure without sacrificing the variety's characteristic cassis and dried herb profile.

What sets this expression apart is its direct access to Maipo's Cabernet identity, delivered without an extended barrel program. Drink now through 2026 for primary fruit freshness.
