Clos de Fous Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Reviews

"Clos des Fous has 19 hectares of vineyards in total, which is supplemented by fruit from selected growers. Pedro Parra's key aim was to move plantings away from the fertile plains and up the slopes into the Andean and Coastal ranges, where the rockier soils result in lower vine vigour and deeper roots, which he believes gives better balance and more finesse to the wines. The Cabernet grapes are grown in a single vineyard called Cabeza de Loco (Crazy Head) in the Alto Cachapoal, just six kilometres from the Andes mountains. The decaying granite and volcanic rocks which are present in the soil here provide the resulting wines with a distinct mineral character, soft tannins and good levels of balancing acidity."
