What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

Winemakers Notes

Primus is made with the same detail-intense winemaking practices reserved for the top
Cabernet based wines of the world. In the vineyards, yields are managed to a meager 2-3 tons
per acre to provide concentration and intensity. All of the grapes go through a meticulous
double sorting process before crush to ensure that only the most pristine bunches and berries
make it into the winery. Primus is aged in the finest French and American oak for 12-18
months. Chile’s unique terroir and economic advantage allows us to deliver world-class quality
and value in every read more...glass with rich, dense fruit, exotic spice and a long, textured finish.
