Obliqua comes from a high-altitude vineyard (about 500 meters), surrounded by hills that give it shade and dramatically reduce the temperature and hours of sunshine in a warm area like Apalta, in the Colchagua Valley. It has been produced since 2017, and this year it was aged for 22 months in oak, 70% in barrels and 30% in foudres. It is 90% carmenere, but it also has 5% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon, always from Apalta. It has the herbal aromas of carmenere, although there are also aromas and flavors of ripe, deep red fruits, with iron touches.

Benefitting from the input of the Australian legend, John Duval, Obliqua is a superb, layered assemblage of Carmenère and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Curated in older barrels and 30% foudres, it has aromas of rocket and parsley, some stony grip and intensity and engaging blackberry, chocolate and damson flavours. Built to last.

Peppercorn funk and ripe, dried berries with a touch of bark. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a long, sappy finish. Well-structured. (ZS)

Staff Reviews

This is Carménère done right- ripe, polished, and just a little big wild. Dark plum, blackberry, and black cherry lead the way, backed by that signature Carménère note of smoked herbs, cocoa, and touch of cracked pepper. The texture is plush and generous, but there's enough structure and savory edge to keep it from ever feeling heavy. Apalta is one of Chile's top terroirs, and this shows why-depth, balance, and serious value in the glass. Perfect for anyone who loves bold reds but wants something more distinctive than the usual Cabernet.
