Pagnel Pukao Cabernet Sauvignon

Pagnel wines was established by two friends, Sebastian Paganelli and Rodrigo Concha, who wanted to produce exceptional wines from small family vineyards. Many of the grape growers they knew were struggling to be economically viable because of their small scale. By offering fair compensation for the grapes and encouraging sustainable farming practices, Sebastian and Rodrigo were able to support these small farmers and help them succeed. They work very closely with the growers to ensure that the grapes harvested meet their exacting standards. Dealing with vineyards in the Curicó Valley, their primary relationships are with growers in the Sagrada Familia Valley in the western part of the region. Rodrigo handles the winemaking and is also the primary communicator with the grape growers. His approach in the cellar is restrained, with soft extractions and judicious use of ageing in French oak barrels.
