WINE OVERVIEW
CantoSur is a tribute to the Bouchon family’s new roots in Chile. This blend echoes Chile’s historic and signature varietals, blending Carmenere, Carignan and old vine Pais.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of Mediterranean herbs, violet and red fruit on the nose lead to great acidity and juiciness on the palate. Finish is lively and the perfect balance of freshness and rusticity.
EAT WITH
Enjoy with steak, barbeque, and aged cheeses.
