Kaiken Cabernet Sauvignon 750ML
All the grapes used for our Kaiken Estate Cabernet Sauvignon come from vineyards in Agrela, located 60 km from the city of Mendoza at 950 m.a.s.I. The terroir features silty-clay soils atop stones originally washed down from the Andes mountains and now buried two meters below the surface. The climate is warmer than that of the Uco Valley and it produces grapes with fruitier flavors and aromas, as well as very soft tannins.
Kaiken Cabernet Sauvignon
Brand Description
Aurelio Montes, founder and winemaker of Chile’s renowned Montes winery, established Kaiken after falling in love with Argentina’s terrior-driven wines. Kaiken are a distinctive breed of geese that crisscross above the Andes across Chile and Argentina. In emulation of its namesake, the Kaiken brand reflects the best of both sides of the Andes. Today, the combination of Chilean winemakers and phenomenal estate locations –Maipu (Cruz de Piedra), Lujan de Cuyo (Ugarteche, Agrelo) and Valle de Uco – produce exceptional Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our Kaiken Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 displays deep, ruby-red color. The nose exhibits a great array of fuity notes, among which fresh red berries stand out, intertwined with aromas of eucalyptus and menthol. In the mouth, a genuine expression of the typical flavors of a Cabernet Sauvignon is perceived, combined with unusual and extraordinary softness. These unique features result from the distinctive terroir of Agrelo, where the grapes grow.
