ABOUT THE WINE
The 'Tres Palacios' winery is a family business, founded in 1996 by Don Patricio Palacios and his wife, Maria Inés Covarrubias. With patience—and much passion—they began their search for an area that had never before been used for winemaking.
They settled on the Cholqui sector of the Maipo Valley, 16 km (10 miles) from the city of Melipilla. The unique location of the vineyard protects them from extremes of heat and allows the grapes to ripen slowly and completely. In a setting reminiscent of the crater of a volcano, this terroir is unlike any other in Chile’s Central Valley.
This wine is made from some of the oldest vines on the vineyard, producing a low yield of high quality grapes.
TASTING NOTES
Aged in oak for 10 months, with a further 12 months in bottle before release, this wine has an intense red colour, with aromas of red fruits. The oak is well integrated, leading to a smooth and complex wine with some freshness on the palate.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal to accompany red meats, stews, and cheeses.
