Maquis Franco 2008

Chile’s top Cabernet Franc – Icon wine The Maquis estate has unique conditions thanks to the high clay content, well drained soils and the effect of the two surrounding rivers on the temperatures that allow Cabernet Franc grapes to reach amazing concentration and elegance. Maquis Franco represents the culmination of painstaking efforts by four generations of the Hurtado family to craft a truly exceptional wine. This majestic Cabernet Franc is outstanding for its elegance and persistence on the palate. Tasting notes Maquis Franco presents a dark cherry red colour. The nose reveals a high complexity with red fruits such as blackberries and blueberries with some hints of lavender and a touch of regaliz. The palate is well structured, with excellent volume. It’s fresh with elegant tannins and a long and persistent finish.
