Box 6 Single Vineyard La Capilla Cabernet Sauvignon
This Single Vineyard comes from the La Capilla vineyard located in Peralillo and is established on an alluvial soil of very low natural fertility and with a high proportion of silt, sand and volcanic ash.
The unique character of this terroir gives the wine very clear fruit notes, great minerality and elegance, and a palate characterized by the texture of its fine tannins. We conceptually illustrate this soil on the new label.
The background color is a light gray, almost white, corresponding to the whitish color seen in the vineyard, a result of the volcanic ash.

Tasting Notes
Bright and deep red color, with a violet hue. The nose is expressive and complex, with prominent notes of ripe red fruits, such as black cherry and currants, followed by a subtle tobacco aroma.
The palate is balanced and well-structured, with firm and silky tannins that provide tension and texture, accompanied by fine nutty notes in the aftertaste, leading to an elegant and persistent finish.
