METIC Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Bold & Honest Red from Chile’s Maipo Valley
METIC Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a vibrant and expressive red wine from the sun-drenched vineyards of Maipo Valley, one of Chile’s most renowned wine regions. Crafted with minimal intervention, this wine is all about purity, character and the natural richness of the grape.
On the nose, it offers deep aromas of blackcurrants, plums and dark cherries, with hints of black pepper and a touch of earthiness. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with ripe tannins and fresh acidity that keep the wine lively and balanced. There’s no oak ageing here – just pure fruit and honest winemaking.
Behind the wine is Jorge Martinez, a winemaker committed to sustainable and low-intervention methods. The name “Metic” refers to someone who chooses to live in a place not originally their own – a fitting nod to this international, unpretentious approach to Chilean wine.
