In the local Mapuche language, Calcu means “magician.” And indeed,
winemakers Alejandro Jofre and Richard Rivadeniera have created
a magical “Super Chilean” blend from the distinctive flavors
of Chile’s Colchagua Valley.
Like the bull on the label and the talented young artist who
painted him, Calcu is an exuberant wine with unrestrained possibility.
Rather than being tied to a particular terroir, each vintage
of Calcu is free to reveal a different aspect of the Colchagua
Valley’s dynamic character.

2006 Calcu
In this “Super Chilean” blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon,
25% Carmenère, and 15% Cabernet Franc, winemakers Ricardo
Rivadeneira and Alejandro Jofre capture the diversity of the
Colchagua Valley by combining a range of flavors into a single
wine. Alejandro and Ricardo artfully blend the mineral notes
and fresh acidity of grapes from the Andes foothills with the
ripe tannins and red fruit from the center of the valley, and,
finally, add richness and body from grapes grown closer to the
Pacific Ocean. The resulting wine is lightly oaked, allowing
the grapes’ natural, fresh fruit character to shine through.
