About this winery

For Pedro Parra the purest expression of his passionate devotion to terroir is Clos des Fous, his collaboration with Francois Massoc, Paco Leyton, and Albert Cussen. Although the project is based in Pedro's home region of Bio Bio, 500km south of Santiago, the focus is not limited to making wines from Bio Bio: rather the idea is to discover (or rediscover) and celebrate great unknown terroirs throughout Chile - a vast and endlessly varied country - that is full of the vibrancy, uniqueness, and...

(Vintage 2015)

The 2015 Grillos Cantores Cabernet Sauvignon is varietal and, in the context of the rest of the 2015s, quite fresh and with moderate ripeness. It's perhaps the character of Alto Cachapoal where the grapes are grown. It's an approachable Cabernet with some dusty tannins, somewhat rounder than the spicier vintages before this one. They couldn't produce a 2016 of this wine because of the strong rains. 39,000 bottles. It was bottled in March 2017.
