Aromas of raspberries, blueberries, floral and tobacco notes. It is structured, rich and well balanced, with fruit flavours and vibrant acidity.
Caliterra was established in 1996 as a joint venture between the families of Robert Mondavi and Viña Errazuriz. In January 2004 Viña Errazuriz became the sole owners of Caliterra.
The name Caliterra is taken from ‘Calidad’ Spanish for quality and ‘Tierra’ – land. The wine making philosophy of Caliterra is to produce environmentally friendly, quality wines in the heart of the Colchagua Valley. Crucially a large proportion of this estate and all new plantings are on prime hillside sites, resulting in high quality fruit and complex wines.
Over the past few years, Caliterra has pioneered a move to sustainable wine production. The four pillars of this approach are sustainable viticulture, community commitment, environmental preservation and ecofriendly packaging. Caliterra is certified sustainable – one of the very first Chilean wineries to achieve this accreditation.
Fermented in stainless steel tanks with soft extraction of the skins. 30% aged for 6 months in second and third use barrels.
Very intense and fresh on the nose, it shows aromas of berries such as raspberries and blueberries along with floral notes and touches of tobacco leaf that make it very complex. The palate, structured, rich and well balanced, with fresh-fruit flavours and a vibrant acidity.
