Torbellino 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Rapel Valley DO, Chile

Our savory and earthy red blend comes from a new brand deeply rooted in the history of Chilean terroir. Torbellino, which loosely translates to whirlpool, is inspired by famous 20th-century water wheels that have historically been used to bring water to the Rapel Valley. Today, these nearly 100-year-old wheels still give life to this dry, sun-soaked region. Cabernet Sauvignon is a warmth-loving variety, meaning it feels right at home in the valley’s Meditterean climate, allowing rich fruit flavors and robust tannins to ripen. Cool afternoon breezes and cold nighttime temperatures maintain the grape’s natural acidity, keeping fresh textures in the final wines. All these elements come together in the bottle, creating wines ready to enjoy now or stow in the cellar for a special occasion. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
