Perez Cruz Liguai
A family owned winery situated in the superior Alto-Maipo region of Chile, earmarked to be the area with most potential for developing Chile’s leading premium wines. From the first vintage in 2002, President Andres Perez Cruz has seen the estate’s speciality red wine amass an impressive array of awards and gold medals. Situated among the foothill of the Andes Mountains, their 140 hectres of vines are positioned in the highest area above sea level at which grapes can be grown.
With a Mediterranean climate of rainy winters and dry summers, the vineyards are ideal for healthy grape production. Their ecofriendly winery was built specifically, by award winning architect Jose Cruz Ovalle, to fulfil the technical objective of fine wine production. Its wooden roof and natural light allow thermal isolation and free air flow circulation, making Perez Cruz one of the most unique boutique estates in the world.
Vinification: Grapes are handpicked from our best parcels, by gravity flow in the tanks. After hand pumping over, the juice ferments and is macerated with its skins for 30 days. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then aged in new french oak barrels for 16 months.
Tasting Note: Blackcurrants, eucalyptus and overripe mango on the nose. On the palate, it is massive yet restrained and elegant with a good concentration of ripe fruits. Silky tannins and a lingering finish
Typical Alto Maipo nose of Blackcurrants,eucalyptus,and overripe mango. Massive but restrained palate .The flavour goes on forever
