A fresher, more floral alternative to broad, sweet-fruited Malbec styles.

Calcu works the coastal side of Colchagua's Marchigüe sector, where Pacific breezes moderate warm days and granitic clay soils naturally limit yields. Its gravity-fed winery uses geothermal energy, cutting gas and electricity use while handling fruit gently.

In the glass
Violet and fresh red fruit; concentrated, elegant and balanced, with a long, clean fruit finish.

How it is made
Small-block coastal Colchagua fruit from low-yielding granitic-clay soils.

Enjoy it with
Steak, empanadas, roast vegetables or hard cheese.
