Tasting Notes
Rich aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of cherry. Soft spice notes and vanilla add complexity. Medium-bodied and bright, the fresh acidity combines with ripe fruit flavors and smooth tannins for a well-rounded palate and lengthy finish.

HOME OUR BRANDS ROOT:1 ROOT:1 HERITAGE RED 2022
A skillful interplay of power and subtlety, Root:1's Heritage Blend brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah, and Petit Verdot from the famed Maipo Valley.
Wine Production
Root:1 has developed and implemented five pillars of sustainability: Clean Energy, Water Conservation, Waste Management, Minimal Intervention, and Community Connection, which guide its farming and winemaking practices.
Clean Energy – Root:1 uses solar power for energy, and the large-scale underground gravity cellar generates an even temperature throughout the year without air conditioning or heating.
Water Conservation – The absolute minimum water necessary is used, and 100% of the process water from the winery is reused for irrigation.
Minimal Intervention – Root:1 only uses interventions when necessary to protect the vine. Trichoderma, a natural fungus, is used instead of chemicals to control fungi, and products made from tea and citrus extract control botrytis.
Waste Management – They reuse 85% of their inorganic materials and 100% of their vineyard waste as fertilizer.
Community Connection – 100% of Root:1’s production team comes from local communities in central Chile, and they support different projects with the community, including the reconstruction of the “Los Pecesitos” school after the 2010 earthquake.
Serving Suggestion
