Recently we had the opportunity to meet with Héctor Vergara, Master Sommelier and President of the Chilean Association of Sommeliers who tasted our CALA N.1. It was a very pleasant and stimulating encounter because of the evaluations he did.
“Red, purple with medium-high intensity, good color. One can find pleasant fruity aromas, ripe black fruits reminiscent of cherries, cassis and morello cherries. Good mouth. A wine with good nuances, balance and structure, reminiscent of nuts, figs, and a hint of licorice. Well-balanced wine with a lighter style than Spanish classics”.
