Casas del Bosque Twin Pack

Santiago, Chile

This wine is featuring in our 'Meet the Winemaker' virtual tasting - Thurs 6th August - Join us!

Awarded Chilean Winery of the Year by the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2012 and 2013, this producer never misses a beat.
When it comes to Casas del Bosque, it's all about the rich, peppery, deep black fruit character. Medium to full-bodied, the fruit character and oak barrel ageing combine beautifully to produce a wine with soft, integrated tannins and a long, velvety finish. Deep flavours are reminiscent of black cherry, pepper and menthol and have to be savoured to be believed. This Carmenere is a real head turner.  Casas del Bosque's philosophy is quality not quantity - the best employees, who love their jobs, the purest fruit and the healthiest vines.  A winning combo.  This latest 2018 vintage is every bit as good as the preceding vintages.  All it requires is a little aeration to really release those aromas and flavours.

Casablanca, Chile  -  this wine features in our 'Meet the Winemaker' event - Thursday 6th July 2020

In some ways, a tamed beast - in others, the coolest panther in the range... Gran Reserva Syrah joins the already hugely popular Reserva Cabernet and Reserva Carmenere. But this Syrah is for lovers of massive wines and will blow you away.

The aromas are instantly recognisable - blackcurrant through and through. The prevailing flavours are black pepper, tobacco, linseed and sweet violet. The structured tannins and vibrant acidity mean that this wine will develop for many years.

The producer's philosophy is quality over quantity - the best employers, the best employees, the purest fruit and the healthiest vines - altogether a winning combination.

Grapes are grown in the coolest part of Casablanca with full sun exposure, so ripening is long and even.  16 days' maceration on skins before and after fermentation, the winemaker wants maximum extraction and character.  The finished wine undergoes 100% French barrel ageing (one and two year old barrels), then bottled and rested for a further few months before release.

Awarded Chilean Winery of the Year by the International Wine & Spirit Competition in both 2013 and 2014 and now rated in the Top 50 Winery Destinations of Chile.
