Château Los Boldos Grand Clos Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
£31.75
The wine
The estate's flagship, a Grand Clos Cabernet Sauvignon from old vines in the Cachapoal Andes. Aged in French oak for structure and depth.
Concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, cocoa and cedar. The palate is full and structured, with firm ripe tannins, dark fruit and a long, polished finish. A serious, ageworthy Chilean Cabernet.
A wine for roast lamb, steak or game. Decant well ahead and serve at cool room temperature.
The producer
Château Los Boldos
View all Château Los Boldos winesChâteau Los Boldos lies in the Cachapoal Andes, a warm, high valley in Chile's Rapel region where the Andes cast their cooling shadow. Founded by a French family, the estate brings a Bordeaux sensibility to Chilean fruit. Its French name and château nod to that heritage.
The vineyards climb the Andean foothills, where altitude and cool mountain nights temper the summer heat. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère and Merlot thrive here, alongside Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The alluvial and clay soils give the wines both power and freshness.
Winemaking marries New World ripeness with Old World restraint, from the everyday Tradición Reserva range to the flagship Grand Clos. Careful oak ageing lends structure to the reds without masking their generous fruit. Precision runs through the range.
Los Boldos offers the sun-filled character of Chile with a French accent. Ripe, polished and remarkably good value, these are wines that over-deliver at every level, from midweek pours to serious cellar bottles.
