Bodega Toneles Tonel 46 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is something of a blockbuster, intensely coloured and packed with pure and generous blackcurrant fruit flavours. The core of the wine is dark and brooding; the tannins rich yet ripe, balanced by excellent natural acidity. Subtle notes of toasty, spicy French oak suggest liquorice, cloves and peppers.

The Toneles vineyards of La Consulta and Vista Flores sit at altitudes of 1,020 and 1,150m respectively, and both have poor soils with excellent drainage. Cabernet Sauvignon from the two vineyards was co-fermented at a cool temperature to preserve and extract the most aromatic compounds. Tonel 46 was aged for nine months in new French oak to achieve a seamless integration between wood and fruit.
