Lacaze Maipo Alto Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
About the wine
Pure, classic Cab from the Bordeaux of South America
- Maipo is the place to make Cabernet Sauvignon. For sure. Of course, many other good Cabs can be made elsewhere in Chile, but not with the identity and character that you have in Maipo!
- Maipo is known as the ‘Bordeaux of South America’. Having originally trained in Bordeaux, it’s been an honour to work with one of Chile’s most popular grape varieties to produce something extra-special for Angels.
- This is a pure, classic Maipo Cab - packed with fresh red fruits and cassis, with a smooth and plush finish thanks to aging in French oak.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jean Pascal Lacaze
-
Born and trained in Bordeaux, Jean-Pascal now makes wines in Chile, where he’s become a winemaking legend. Every delicious drop he touches ends up dripping medals and critical acclaim.
-
Back in 2008 when his main client went bust, Angels stepped in to save his bacon, and his vintage. Ever since, he’s been making award-winning wines specially for UK Angels.
-
How good is his kit? Well, in his spare time he also makes one of Chile’s most famous wines – the iconic Domus Aurea Cabernet Sauvignon. It sells for £40 and scores 90+ Parker Points every vintage. That good.
