The Wine
Volcanic Red is inspired by the ancient volcanic rock and limestone soils carried from the Andes into Chile’s Maipo Valley over centuries, creating ideal conditions for this bold blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot. Full-bodied and rich, it layers cassis, black cherry, and plum with spicy, earthy notes and hints of sweet cocoa. Structured tannins and balanced acidity lead to a velvety mouthfeel and long, lingering finish, reflecting the depth and intensity of the region’s dramatic landscape.

The Region
Located south of Santiago and stretching toward the Andes, Maipo Valley is one of Chile’s most renowned wine regions. Its warm, dry Mediterranean climate and fertile clay-based soils create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot to develop ripe dark fruit flavours, rich structure, and smooth tannins, producing bold yet balanced red wines with depth and complexity.
