* Delivery information
Discover the distinct allure of Mariposa Alegre Cabernet Gran Reserva, a robust red wine from Chile’s esteemed Vina Marty. This Gran Reserva offers a complex and evolving profile that delights the senses, making it a memorable choice for any wine enthusiast.
On the nose, this wine presents an intriguing mix of old, dusty, dry-rotted wood and a touch of Brettanomyces (bret), creating a rustic, earthy character. As it opens up in the glass, subtle hints of red fruit and blackcurrant begin to emerge, accompanied by a whisper of cloves. The mustiness mellows with time, revealing a more refined aromatic profile.
The palate is where this wine truly shines. Expect a burst of fruit, including black and red currants, plums, and a hint of red apple. There’s a pleasant meatiness to the texture, with a subtle note of menthol or eucalyptus adding depth and complexity.
The finish is marked by fine tannins and balanced acidity, with the fruit remaining prominent yet restrained, creating a lingering and satisfying conclusion to each sip. The Mariposa Alegre Cabernet Gran Reserva is a wine that evolves in the glass, making it perfect for those who appreciate a wine with character and depth.
