The grapes for Max Cabernet Sauvignon primarily come from Max vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley. Grapes were handpicked, sorted, destemmed, crushed and placed in stainless-steel tanks for fermentation. The grapes had a total maceration for 8-28 days. Afterwards, the wine was kept in French oak barrels, 30% of them new, for malolactic fermentation and ageing for 12 months.
The resulting wines are juicy with fresh acidity that enhances the plums and blackberries with a hint of pomegranate and raspberries.
