The Wine

Country of origin:

Chile

Region:

Maipo Valley

'Ladera' means slope, as this wine takes its name from the south-facing angle of its vineyard. Bringing together two varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec - has resulted in a wine with concentration, balance and a wonderful purity of fruit the Ladera vineyard is famed for. Use of French oak was judged to perfection, not overshadowing the purity of fruit, but adding layers of complexity. This is pretty special. A spicy red and black berry-scented wine that'll mature gracefully over the years.

The Winemaker

Nicolas Perez
Winemaker:

Nicolás Peréz

Nicolás Peréz works alongside the fourth generation of the De Martino family. Although he grew up in Santiago, Chile, during his teenage years he travelled constantly to Chilean Patagonia, where he worked on the culinary project of one of his brothers. This is where he first came into contact with the world of wine, getting to know the different producers that were operating at that time. This experience was key to his decision, at the young age of 14, to become a winemaker. From that moment on, this goal was central to all the decisions he took about his life and studies. Despite his youth, he has gained substantial experience working in different international wineries in California and Australia, before returning to his home of Chile.

At De Martino, the winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention on single vineyards, including sustainable farming and traditional winemaking methods. Wines are crafted with native yeast, balanced in alcohol and moderate oak (when needed) to preserve the essence of the vineyards. De Martino is proud to be the first producer to bottle single-varietal Carménère in Chile, the first South American Carbon Neutral winery, Chilean Wine Producer of the Year in 2005 & 2009 by IWSC and Chilean Winery of the Year.

"Some wonderfully concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon and a splash of super ripe Malbec form a fabulous duet here. Ladera is really a top-notch release that expresses what can be created when everything comes together seamlessly. A perfect stunner for the Sunday dinner table." - Dave Roberts. Wine Buyer.

Delicious fruit easy to drink

Nice full bodied wine with an acidic touch. Quite nice and fruity once it has had a chance to breathe.

What a lovely wine! Full on deep rich flavors. One for special occasions
