Volcanic Red is inspired by the ancient volcanic rock and limestone soils carried from the Andes into Chile’s Maipo Valley over centuries, creating ideal conditions for this bold blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot. Full-bodied and rich, it layers cassis, black cherry, and plum with spicy, earthy notes and hints of sweet cocoa. Structured tannins and balanced acidity lead to a velvety mouthfeel and long, lingering finish, reflecting the depth and intensity of the region’s dramatic landscape.
Located south of Santiago and stretching toward the Andes, Maipo Valley is one of Chile’s most renowned wine regions. Its warm, dry Mediterranean climate and fertile clay-based soils create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot to develop ripe dark fruit flavours, rich structure, and smooth tannins, producing bold yet balanced red wines with depth and complexity.

The benchmark wine of France’s Bordeaux region and California, Cabernet contends as the greatest red wine of the world and is grown in almost every winemaking region on the planet. Cabernet typically features notes of black fruits, firm tannins and is often oaked. Each growing region typically has its own ‘interpretation’ of this impressive wine.
One of the original Bordeaux grapes of France- Caremènére was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in Chile in 1994.

The Maipo Valley is one of the most important wine regions in Chile and is known for producing some of the most prestigious Chilean wines. It is situated just south of Chile’s capital Santiago and extends east to the Andes Mountains and west to the Coast. The mild Mediterranean climate is dry with warm summers and cold wet winters. The region receives very little rainfall during the hot summer months, therefore viticulturalists rely on drip irrigation to help the vines through the long dry periods. The soils are clay based and very fertile resulting in full bodied red wines.
Dry wines like Cabernet and Pinot Grigio have no perceptible amount of sweetness to the drinker and will often be detected as having a drying character in the mouth.
The big wines that can stand on their own. Often premium wines with higher tannins, alcohol levels and oaking levels as they all factor in a bigger tasting wine.
