Haras de PirqueHussonet Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2020

About this wine

This bold Chilean red from the prestigious Maipo Valley delivers everything you'd want from a Gran Reserva at an exceptional value. Haras de Pirque has crafted a wine that punches well above its weight, blending the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the spicy character of Carménère.

On the nose, expect ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry aromas mingled with hints of tobacco, dark chocolate, and a touch of green pepper from the Carménère. The palate is full-bodied and generous, with firm tannins that give the wine great backbone while remaining approachable. You'll find layers of black fruit, subtle oak notes, and a pleasant spiciness that lingers on the finish.

This is a perfect match for grilled meats, especially a juicy steak or beef empanadas. It also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses or hearty stews. Decant this wine for at least 1 hour before serving to let it breathe and fully express itself, and serve at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C.
