Awards/Ratings
James Suckling 96; Vinous (Joaquín Hidalgo) 96; Robert Parker/WA reported ~94; positive reviews in Decanter, Descorchados and Revista Adega for 2022

Tasting Note
Concentrated blackcurrant, plum and black cherry with cedar, floral and savory herbal notes. Vibrant acidity, firm gravelly tannins and full-bodied texture lead to a long, slightly saline, spice-tinged finish.

Food Pairing
Grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, mushroom ragu; Asian: Korean BBQ (bulgogi), char siu, braised beef (Sichuan/Peking-style), rich Chinese red-braised dishes, aged hard cheeses.

Production Method
Old País rootstock grafted to Cabernet; dry‑farmed, hand‑harvested, fermented with native yeasts (some whole‑cluster reported) and aged ~15 months in French oak (≈65% new).

Vineyard Info
Baettig (Francisco Baettig) sources old‑vine parcels in Cauquenes/Maule; Selección de Parcelas 'Los Padrinos' is the single‑parcel flagship showcasing dry‑farmed, centennial vines.
