Selección Del Viticultor Cabernet Sauvignon

Laura Hartwig's Selección Del Viticultor represents the winemaker's direct selection from Colchagua Valley's warm, east-facing slopes in central Chile. The vineyard sits at moderate elevation with alluvial soils derived from Andean runoff, delivering the mineral backbone characteristic of the region's best Cabernet blocks.

The fruit undergoes traditional maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with extended skin contact to extract color and tannin structure. Aging in French oak—specifics of cooper and duration held confidential by the producer—rounds the wine's edges while preserving primary fruit definition. This is a deliberate expression of terroir over oak dominance, with the vineyard's natural acidity and tannin maturity doing the structural work.

The Selección Del Viticultor designation signals the winemaker's personal curation: these are blocks she selected for balance and aging potential rather than immediate softness. Drink 2024–2032.
