A top wine from the Sutil winery, made from selected grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Carmenere, Merlot and Petit Verdot, grown in the Chilean Colchagua Valley. The 12-month aging takes place in American and French oak barrels. Since good things take time, the Acrux is allowed to rest in the bottle for another year before it goes on sale. The wine has a very deep and intense ruby red color. The fragrance is reminiscent of aromas of ripe red fruits, jam, nutmeg and a little mint. On the palate with intense fruit and full body. A powerful appearance.
