Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva Carménère

Juan Cúneo Solari founded Casas del Bosque in 1993, at a time when the Chilean wine industry was pursuing quantity over quality. His commitment to quality is evident in the Gran Reserva Cabernet, a wine which is a great exponent of this characteristic variety of Chile that finds one of its most typical expressions in the Maipo Valley.

Carménère originates from the Bordeaux region of France. However, Chile is currently the main producer of this grape variety worldwide. The grapes come from alluvial loam soils with good drainage towards the Cachapoal river in Almahue, in the commune of Peumo, which has traditionally been recognized for the quality of its Carménère. The variety was harvested during the first fortnight of April, seeking a balance between the herbaceous compounds typical of the variety and its fruity notes.

Lapostolle Grand Selection Carménère

Valle del Rapel is one of the few places where Carménère grows in ideal conditions. It is located in the central part of Chile and it exhibits a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with warm and dry days and pleasantly cool nights during the growing season, as a result of cold breezes coming from the Andes. Rapel has also a cool influence from the Pacificís Humboldt Current, which lowers temperatures in the coastal areas of the valley. This leads to warm days with ample sunlight and dry conditions, allowing a slow ripening period. Carménère is able to fully ripen but maintain all its fresh notes that are so unique to the variety.

Certified Carbon Neutral.

Mandan Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Founded in 1642, Mandan is the oldest wine estate in Chile and now listed by the government as one of the oldest historic buildings.
Mandan is the name originally meant for the first tribe of American Indians, migrated from Siberia to the Americas more than 20,000 years ago, where they formed a unique culture there.
Americans believe that the birds soaring in the sky have a sacred charm. In ancient sports or war, whoever wins will get a feather, which will be inserted into the hat as a prize and become a symbol of honor. The higher the number of feathers, the higher the bravery and the greater the prestige of war.
That’s why the winery is marked by feathers, which, at the same time, represent the enthusiastic and sunny winemaking spirit of the winery and the endless exploration and passion for high-quality wine.
