Beautifull dark ruby-red color with violet highlights. Outstanding fruit, with a noseful of red berries, black cherry, black pepper, hints of violets. Those elements come through on the palate, with fresh black and red fruit, revealing a full-bodied wine.Tannins are very silky and lush on the palate. In mid palate is round and velvety with excellent acidity enhance its liveliness and balance.

The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a single vineyard called ‘Grillos Cantores’ (or ‘singing crickets’) in the Alto Cachapoal, just six kilometres from the Andes mountains. The decaying granite and volcanic rocks present in the soil here provide the resulting wine with a distinct mineral character, soft tannins and good levels of balancing acidity.

The name ‘Clos des Fous’ is an ode to the 12 years that both Pedro and François spent studying and working in Burgundy, as well as to what their peers described as their ‘craziness’ in crossing the traditional Chilean vineyard boundaries to source grapes from those in the more extreme conditions further south and east.
