About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonPairs well with BeefMassal 1945 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the oldest plots of the Almahue Valley that belongs to DO Cachapoal Valley. This small valley is planted with just 360 ha of vineyard.
Almahue remains as one of the Chile’s oldest vineyards. The viticulture´s history of this valley started with the Spanish colonization in the XVIIth century. In 1933 our family ancestors planted French grape varieties such Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot - that lately was discovered as Carménère.
In our Massal 1945 we look for elegance, balance and aging potential. Though our wines we want to express the singularities of our terroir, so we remain using just natural processes with minimal intervention.
Our key points include an early harvesting process made 100% by hand in small cases of 8 lbs. for a strict fruit selection; Soft extraction methods determined by a daily grape tasting. The Fermentation process is made with indigenous yeast. The Massal 1945 wines have no chemical, just a few doses of sulfurous before the bottling, for a perfect conservation.
The wine is aged: 74% in Taransaud oak tanks of 12.000 litters, 6% en new 500lts French oak barrels Sylvain and 20% in concrete tank.
Intense ruby red in colour, Sweet red fruit side of the variety with dense blackberries, flowers and attractive cedar influence. Also, it has a tank.
friendly texture, polished tannins, which contributes to drink easily and with lots of energy at the end.
The palate is very concentrated, persistent but not heavy body. It has an intense tannic structure and a round palate. The ending is long and persistent.
