Kaiken Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

A Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza's Andean foothills – structured, mature, and with a depth rarely found in this price range.

Kaiken is the Argentine project of Montes, the renowned Chilean winery. The grapes come from Agrelo, a growing region south of Maipo at an altitude of around 1,000 meters. The large daily temperature difference in the Andes ensures slow ripening and distinct aromatics while maintaining a fresh acid structure.

Deep ruby red in the glass. On the nose, ripe blackberry and blueberry, underpinned by bitter chocolate, cedar, and a hint of tobacco and coffee – plus a fine minerality that clearly shows the origin character of Agrelo. On the palate, juicy and spicy, with well-structured tannins that blend softly into the overall picture. The finish is silky and persistent.
