Description

The wines of the “Rumbo” line were conceived as an ideal choice for travel and long trips. They must define the path and shape the vision. The wine label is adorned with the image of a compass, an essential attribute of any journey.

“Rumbo” Cabernet Sauvignon is a young Chilean red dry wine made from selected grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety, which is grown in the vineyards of the 8 Valleys Wines estate in the Central Valley of Chile, rightfully considered the cradle of culture and traditions of the whole country. The local semi-arid Mediterranean climate with pronounced fluctuations in daily temperatures and loose soils give rise to rich wines with a special character. The harvested grapes undergo traditional vinification at a controlled temperature. To preserve the freshness and energy of the grapes, the entire vinification process is carried out in stainless steel tanks. The wine goes well with fried red and white meats, cheeses, spicy and stews, pasta and vegetables.

8 Valleys Wines is a family-owned winery founded in 2004 with the aim of showcasing the variety of terroirs and grape varieties that Chile has to offer, and presenting wines with an unparalleled value for money.
