Product Notes

Undurraga Altazor embodies the quintessence of Chilean winemaking. An exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Carignan, its rich, velvety texture leaves an indelible mark on the palate. Impeccable notes of black fruits, piquant spices, and velvety tannins make it intensely aromatic. This crimson-hued delight is aged in French oak barrels, adding a refined complexity to its flavour. Its lingering savoury finish sets it apart. Undurraga Altazor is a perfect companion for refined dinners, matching well with robust meats and complex cheese platters. It stands as a testament to the sophistication and elegance of fine Chilean wines.

Tasting Notes

An exceptional wine revealing expressive aromatic layers, balanced concentration and wonderful complexity. Deep red fruits and cassis are underpinned by mineral notes, graphite and tobacco. The structured palate shows depth of flavour and integrated tannins, through to an everlasting finish. Serve with rich red meats or mature cheese.
