The Wine
Gran Araucano 2018
In the Vineyard: 100% Organic and Biodynamic Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in centenary old vineyards of the Colchagua Valley.
In the winery: Harvesting by hand in crates with grape selection at the double sorting table. Pre-fermentation cold maceration for five days then alcoholic fermentation with regular pumping over and punching down. Post-fermentation maceration for seven to eight days to acquire a refined tannic structure. Malolactic fermentation in vats for a fairly short period of eight to ten days. Matured for 18 months in Bordeaux barrels (70% new barrels, 30% second-fill barrels).
In the palate: Magnificent, intense red color with hints of cherry. Very aromatic nose marked by intense fruit, fresh blackcurrant and complex thyme and garrigue notes. Powerful, coated in concentrated but very refined tannins. A very lingering, aromatic, complex finish. Ratings: 93 (JS)
The Producer
Hacienda Araucano
Although François and his brother Jacques Lurton had been making Chilean wine since 1992, it was not until 2000 that they found the perfect spot in the Colchagua Valley. They bought 200 hectares (combining seven different estates into a single family) in an area that had never previously been used for winegrowing. Today, the estate has 28 hectares of vines, and Lolol has become a sought-after location for wine production. Located in a magnificent spot on the Ruta del Vino, we developed wine tourism on the estate to cater to the growing numbers of wine enthusiasts in Colchagua Valley.
