The inaugural release of Villa Don Maximiano, a special blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, is elegant, dense and re fined. The wine displays fruit purity and intensity, yet it is distinctively focused. A rush of red fruit and-oral notes rise from the glass including notes of red cherry, fresh blueberries, cocoa and a soft note of currant leaves. Once in the palate, notes of sour cherries plus fresh blueberries emerge. It is a very fruity and refreshing wine that has a seamless impression from beginning to end. Its tannins are firm and well structured, with a beautiful intensity and balance. This vintage of Villa Don Maximiano will certainly age nicely for years to come.

The second version of Villa is 28% syrah, 25% cabernet sauvignon, 20% malbec, 17% cabernet franc, and the rest is mourvèdre. 100% of the wine was aged in oak (75% in barrels and the rest in a foudre) for 22 months. It’s rich in red fruits and juicy tones of herbs and spices, but it’s also generous in vibrant textures supported by tense, nervy tannins.

Beautiful aromas of currants, coffee and dried flowers.  Full body, round and juicy tannins with berry, chocolate and light vanilla undertones.  Delicious finish.
