Production notes

The different vineyard parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon were fermented separately both in stainless steel vats and French oak. Cold maceration was performed over a 3 to 5 day period to enhance aromatic compounds. Once alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to barriques where it aged for 12 months.

Tasting notes

Hussonet is an intense red color. On the nose, notes of cinnamon, bay leaves and mint merge with herbaceous sensations and toasted notes that express Maipo Valley’s fresh character. The palate is soft with pleasant tannins that offer aromas of red fruit and chocolate.
