O<br />

ur 2008 Las Almas Carmenére displays an outstanding<br />

deep and intense bluish-violet color, and a highly<br />

aromatic nose that reveals aromas of fresh black fruits such as<br />

blackberry and plum interlaced with spicy characters of black<br />

pepper, tobacco leaf, and a hint of ink. Barrel aging lends<br />

pleasingly intense notes of roasted coffee and caramel. The<br />

big-bodied and juicy palate offers very good structure and<br />

elegance with mouth-filling tannins that are soft, fine, and velvety.<br />

Our new Las Almas Carmenére shows exceptional concentration<br />

and persistent elegance, making this a special wine to accompany<br />

complex dishes, exotic meats, and creamy cheeses such as Roquefort.<br />

Best served at 18ºC (64ºF).<br />

CHILCAS SINGLE VINEYARD<br />

CHARDONNAY 2008 SCORES<br />

HIGH IN ROBERT PARKER´S<br />

WINE ADVOTACTE<br />

In a recent Robert Parker Wine Advocate tasting of Chilean<br />

wines, VIA <strong>Wines</strong> Chilcas Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2008<br />

received 89 points. In the words of Jay Miller, the magazine's<br />

reviewer for Chile, the wine has “medium straw color, spiced<br />

apple, white peach; savory palate, good volume and length”.<br />

T<br />

he grapes were hand picked in the early morning during the<br />

third week of March, placed into small 10 kg boxes and<br />

immediately transported to the cellar, where they were rigorously<br />

inspected to select only the bunches in the best condition for<br />

pressing. 20% of the grapes underwent a 6 to 12 hour cold soak at<br />

8ºC–10ºC (46º–50ºF) to extract varietal intensity. 100% of the must<br />

was fermented in stainless steel tanks for 14 to 16 days under a strict<br />

temperature control at 14ºC–16ºC (57º–61ºF) to preserve the delicate<br />

aromatic intensity. The wine was stabilized for 15 to 20 days at 0ºC<br />

(32ºF) and then earth-filtered prior to bottling.<br />
