Viña Maquis "Lien" Red Blend 2021 (Colchagua Valley, Chile)
Named after the Mapuche word for "silver metal," Lien is the handcrafted flagship estate blend from the Hurtado family. Born in a uniquely cool 2021 vintage, this Bordeaux-style blend shifts the spotlight to Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), balanced by Carménère (43%) and a touch of Cabernet Franc (1%). To ensure maximum fruit concentration, the estate restricts yields to just 12 grape clusters per vine. Aged for 18 months in French oak, the wine bursts with aromatic plum, fresh mint, wild berries, and complex notes of licorice and tobacco leaf. Boasting refined, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant, juicy acidity, this highly decorated vintage secured 93 Points from James Suckling and 93 Points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. A phenomenal value that pairs spectacularly with grilled meats, short ribs, or wild mushroom risotto.
