An elegant and sophisticated wine, with a deep red color. With fine and intense aromas of plums, blueberries and blackberries, blended with nutmeg and roasted notes. Amplus Cabernet Sauvignon has great concentration and firm tannins that give it a solid structure and a persistent finish with all the characteristics and the seal of Maipo Alto.

Critical Acclaim:
The 2011 Amplus Cabernet Sauvignon is produced with the fruit from a vineyard at 900 meters altitude on a slope with south-facing orientation, and is still a ripe, fresh Cabernet, quite typical with aromas of tobacco, cedar wood and hints of red fruit intermixed with riper aromas of plums and cassis with good freshness, juicy and with good acidity, round, soft tannins, quite accessible and easy to drink. 5,000 cases produced.
