Altair Cachapoal Valley DO

Cachapoal Valley, Chile

Flagship Bordeaux-style blend from high-altitude Andean foothills at 600m. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with Carmenère, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Intense blackcurrant, graphite, tobacco, and the distinctive green olive note from Carmenère. 18 months in French oak (60% new). Impeccable structure for long ageing.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Chilean Cabernet-Carmenère's structured tannin and cassis are natural with aged prime rib; chimichurri echoes herb notes
• main: Altair's dense fruit and graphite mineral backbone complement game; blackberry reduction mirrors wine's fruit
• cheese: Premium Chilean red with Spanish cheese celebrates shared heritage; quince bridges Carmenère's olive-fruit character
