This wine is deep ruby red in colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it has black and red fruit aromas, predominately cherry and raspberry. The complex nose also has floral notes of chamomile and tea leaves. A touch of minerality comes through on the palate with notes of graphite and earth. The wine is generous and silky with very fine tannins and excellent acidity which enhance Cauquenina's liveliness and balance.

The ‘Tocao’ is a mesmerising Malbec sourced from a vineyard planted in 1914 in the southern Bío-Bío Valley, producing fruit with fresh acidity and fine tannins

The name ‘Clos des Fous’ is an ode to the 12 years that both Pedro and François spent studying and working in Burgundy, as well as to what their peers described as their ‘craziness’ in crossing the traditional Chilean vineyard boundaries to source grapes from those in the more extreme conditions further south and east.
