About the winery · Root:1 ›
Root:1 focuses on Chilean wines grown on original, ungrafted root systems and presents this Cabernet Sauvignon as estate bottled from Maipo Valley. The brand's Maipo Valley materials describe the area south of Santiago as a classic Chilean red-wine region where dry conditions and sunshine suit late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. Winebow's producer materials state that Root:1 follows five sustainability pillars: clean energy, water conservation, waste management, minimal intervention, and community connection. The current Cabernet Sauvignon is made by winemaker Ángel Marchant and imported by Winebow.
