Vina Sutil, Colchagua Valley Acrux 2017

Viña Sutil Acrux 2017 is an elegant red from Chile’s renowned Colchagua Valley, combining vibrant berry fruit with subtle tobacco and oak nuances. Its polished style, long finish and French oak maturation make it a refined choice for lovers of structured yet approachable Chilean reds.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a clear ruby-red colour in the glass. On the nose, intense aromas of cherries, blackcurrants and blueberries are complemented by attractive notes of tobacco and oak. Elegant and balanced on the palate, it offers generous fruit character with a smooth, polished texture and a long, fruit-driven finish. The wine is enjoyable now, while its structure and oak maturation should allow it to develop further over the next few years when stored in suitable conditions.

Production
The grapes were placed in stainless-steel tanks and underwent a pre-fermentation maceration lasting approximately 4–10 days. Alcoholic fermentation followed for 12–14 days at controlled temperatures of 24–29°C, helping to preserve the wine’s ripe fruit character while extracting colour and structure. Maturation took place in French oak barrels, contributing the wine’s subtle oak and tobacco notes. Specific grape varieties and detailed vineyard practices are not provided.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for grilled red meats, the wine also works well with rich, savoury dishes and mature cheeses such as Camembert and Cheddar. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but 30–45 minutes in a decanter can help open the aromas and soften the wine’s structure.
