CUVÉE PIRQUE
Cabernet Sauvignon Chardonnay CarmenèreThis range is the heart of CASAFÈVRE, showcasing its finest vineyard sites in Pirque, one of the world’s most important Denominations of Origin. Three vineyards located on different terraces of the Alto Maipo Valley, dedicated to our three flagship varieties.
BOCA CHICA, the easternmost vineyard in Chile, offers the ideal soils for the elegance and complexity of our Cabernet Sauvignon, at around 1,000 meters above sea level. In the most extreme areas of the site, where soils are leaner and less clay-rich, there is a balanced combination of alluvial soils (former riverbeds) and colluvial soils (material fallen from surrounding slopes). At the surface, the colluvial layers contain clay components with consistent moisture, resulting in good soil structure.
Just beneath this layer, the alluvial soils contain more sand and gravel, allowing drainage to regulate moisture so it is sufficient without waterlogging the vine. This makes it possible to precisely control vine vigor through irrigation. Sun exposure is limited by the surrounding mountain slopes, which reduces temperature extremes and allows the vines to ripen gently, resulting in a more elegant Cabernet Sauvignon.
