Product description
The establishment of Kaiken winery is the fruit of the efforts of the famous Aurelio Montes, creator of the widely known and acclaimed Montes Winery. Together with three friends, he began producing wines in Chile in 1988, which quickly brought him international fame. When he realized that the Andes region in Argentina had great potential, he began to acquire plots in the best locations in Maipo, Ugarteche, Uco Valley and Cruz de Piedra. In 2003, the first vintage of Kaiken wines was released, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, which perfectly reflected the character of the Mendoza region and, equally importantly, perfectly combined the characteristics of Chilean and Argentinean wines.
What does the name Kaiken mean? It is a breed of goose that is common in the Andes region. The winery is located in Vistalba, in an over 80-year-old historic building, where it is no exaggeration to say that tradition meets modernity. The wine is fermented in historic concrete tanks, which best preserve the original flavors of the grapes, and the entire process is supported by the latest achievements in winemaking.
Kaiken Ultra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 / 14.5% / 0.75l
The flagship wine collection of this producer. Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of a full-bodied wine with a strong structure. It is rich and elegant on the nose, developing towards aromas of dark fruits and ripe cherries, with a touch of leather notes. On the palate, despite its strong structure, it is very harmonious and balanced, the fruit flavors combine well with dense, juicy tannin and balanced acidity. The finish is long and aromatic, with a slightly spicy accent.
It tastes best served at a temperature of 16-18 degrees. Decanting is recommended before serving to ensure the right level of aeration, thanks to which the wine will be able to present its full strengths. In culinary combinations, it will work well with red meats, roasted and grilled, as well as lamb and pasta.
