Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001. Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels. Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.

Tasting Notes

Intense and lively, with a juicy mouthful of ripe red fruits, a smooth palate and a round tasty finish.

Food Pairings

Cabernet Sauvignon’s natural partner is always meat, so we recommend this wine for a barbecue or with a juicy steak. Goes well with charcuterie, roasted vegetables or anything in a rich tomato sauce, even white fish with chorizo and tomato sauce.
