Legado Cabernet-Malbec
The Legado range showcases specific varietals and their cultivation in the best terroirs of Chile resulting in wines that reflect the true character of each region. Legado Cabernet-Malbec is produced from certified organic estate-owned vineyards located in Maipo Valley.

A structured blend with pleasant acidity and soft, round tannins due to the alluvial soil with a high content of stones.
