Aromas of ripe plum, roasted coffee beans and floral hints. Medium-bodied and juicy, with acidity, smoothness and structured tannins.
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.
Fermentation was performed in stainless steel tanks at initial temperatures of 30° C that were reduced afterwards to 26° C so as to avoid over extraction of the skins. 30% of the blend is aged for 7-9 months in French barrel of second or third use.
