Ruby red in colour with purple hues. On the nose, aromas of black cherry and tobacco mingle with subtle hints of sweet spices. The fruit-driven palate is well structured, with ample tannins and a persistent sweetness on the finish.

Los Boldos has 170 hectares of vineyards that benefit from a Mediterranean climate. The clear, bright skies during the summer and the high diurnal temperature range are ideal for growing fruit that maintains fresh acidity while ripening to perfection. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the alluvial, black clay soils at the western foot of the Chilean Coastal Range, at 280 metres above sea level. The stony, alluvial soils and spur-pruned, trellised vines ensure low and healthy yields. Los Boldos makes wine exclusively from their own vineyards, therefore controlling everything from grape to bottle.

The estate’s first vineyards were planted in 1948 and today Château Los Boldos has 170 hectares of vineyards planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Syrah. The Cachapoal Valley’s Mediterranean climate and high diurnal range, due to the proximity of the Andes mountains, are ideal for growing grapes that retain fresh acidity while achieving optimum ripeness. The nearby Cachapoal River also moderates temperatures, while stony alluvial soils in the vineyard ensure low yields. Château Los Boldos makes wine using fruit exclusively from their own vineyards, therefore retaining control from grape to bottle and ensuring consistently high quality in their wines.
