LA CAV July 2000 Harvest 1999 For Viña William Fèvre, 1999 was a good year concerning production and quality. In deed, low raining and temperatures are factors that lowered in a considerable way the yields of the vineyards. This resulted in wines with more concentration, aromas, and a longer guard. More specifically, reds had a loss in the yield of 25%, giving more structure and body. Carménère 1998 won a gold medal at CATAD'OR 1999. This fragile structure variety had a very small production, producing a wine with a great structure and black fruit aromas. The Cabernet sauvignon 1999, from old vines, was elaborated according to an old French tradition of vinification. This wine spent several months in authentic French oak barrels, giving a complex and elegant wine. For the first time Viña William Fèvre gives the name "Gran Cuvée de la Viña William Fèvre" to these exceptional wines. A name that reflects very well the combination between the "chilean terroir" and the French know how. We may say that the 1999's harvest will keep in mind of the "Connaisseurs". So don't lose the new wines of La Misión, who will be soon in LA CAV. Back to Press Main page
