Product Notes

Caliterra Pétreo Malbec is an exquisite Chilean wine, emanating deep ruby hues. The bouquet provides a flourish of blackberry, plum and spicy undertones, which delightfully deliver complexity to the palate. Its distinct smoothness, well-rounded tannins and underlying chocolate notes make it an irresistible treat. The carefully curated grapes from the Colchagua Valley give it a distinguished character, mellowing into a lengthy finish. Ideal for hearty meats or mature cheeses, the Caliterra Pétreo Malbec fits beautifully with traditional British cuisine or warming winter meals. It’s more than a bottle of wine; it's a celebration of viticulture expertise and tradition, promising a stimulating sensory experience.

Tasting Notes

This special Malbec, which comes from a unique terroir, is both complex and elegant right from the start. It shows several layers on the nose, with floral and spicy notes opening up its intriguing bouquet, followed by fresh aromas of forest fruits, such as myrtles and pomegranate. In the end, an underlying mineral quality emerges, reminding us of the stony origin of its terroir, as well as herbaceous and spicy touches of tarragon and black pepper. Very juicy, lively and fruity on the palate, with medium and deep structure. The unique texture of its tannins allows the wine to be both elegant and fresh, revealing its personality while tasting it.

About the Winery

Nestled in the breathtaking vineyard valleys of Central Chile, Caliterra Winery embodies the essence of Chilean wine country. Its name is derived from the Spanish words "calidad" meaning quality and "tierra" meaning land, a representation that aptly suits this prestigious estate.

Founded in 1996 through a partnership between two wine aficionados – Robert Mondavi and Viña Errázuriz's President Eduardo Chadwick – Caliterra had a clear goal: to craft high-quality, ecologically friendly wines with a distinctly Chilean character. Proving to be a harmonic union of traditional Chilean and innovative Californian winemaking techniques, their wines exude an allure that often captivates both seasoned sommeliers and budding oenophiles alike.

The vineyards of Caliterra stretch luxuriantly over the hilly landscape of the Colchagua Valley. Here, the vines are bathed in abundant sunlight and cooled by the breezes from the Andes, providing perfect conditions for growing an array of grape varieties. From robust Cabernet Sauvignons and husky Syrahs to refreshing Sauvignon Blancs and elegant Chardonnays, their portfolio of wines offers a taste for every palette.

However, what sets Caliterra apart from its counterparts is its keen consciousness toward sustainability. The winery is steadfast in its commitment to producing premium wines while operating within a framework of environmental respect and social responsibility. Their sustainability efforts encompass water conservation, recycling, carbon footprint reduction and improved worker's welfare...a testament to their ethos of 'respect for the land and its people.'

Today, Caliterra Winery continues to showcase the richness and diversity of Chile's wine-producing regions to a global audience, offering an unrivalled range of wines that beautifully illustrate the unique terroir of the Colchagua Valley. It is fitting then that Caliterra, a palpable embodiment of the harmony between wine, nature and mankind, is etched in the minds of wine enthusiasts world over.
