Casas del Bosque, Casablanca Valley
Family owned winery Casas del Bosque was founded in 1993 by Juan Cuneo Solari. The son of an Italian immigrant, he had always dreamed of having his own vineyard and chanced upon an area of the Casablanca valley, 100k due west of Santiago, with its pine forests, olive groves and small, white abandoned adobe houses. He chose to name the winery Casas del Bosque, or “Houses of the Forest.” Winemaker Grant Phelps is evangelical about translating the character of the vineyard and grape in to the final wine, using longer than average skin contact to extract extra flavour from the grapes.
Deep ruby red in colour, on the nose this wine exhibits lifted notes of dark cherry, cinnamon, cloves and expresso bean. In the mouth flavours of cassis, dark plum and nutmeg dominate. Rich yet elegant tannins impart fine structure and a long finish.
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
