Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 'Hussonet' Haras de Pirque 2020

The Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva “Hussonet”, made by Haras de Pirque, is an intense, rich red with good freshness that perfectly expresses the most typical characteristics of the terroir of the Maipo Valley. In this land, the Bordeaux grape has adapted very well and produces excellent wines, elegant and long-lived. The ripe grapes and the long aging in wood soften the tannins and allow the development of refined tertiary notes, which lean towards balsamic freshness. A great red, to be enjoyed young, but which can be stored in the cellar for several years without fear.

“Hussonet” is a Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva from the Haras de Pirque winery. The estate extends at an altitude between 550 and 650 meters above sea level, in an area characterized by a very particular climate, marked by strong temperature fluctuations due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountain range. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used to make this cuvée come from a selection of vineyards cultivated in organic farming and located in the Maipo Valley. Each parcel is harvested at full maturity and vinified separately. After a cold maceration of 3-5 days, fermentation takes place, using only indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel tanks and in French oak barrels, at controlled temperature and with contact with the skins for a few weeks. The wine ages in oak barriques for 12 months and completes the aging with a few months in bottle.
