Anakena Birdman Series Cabernet Sauvignon - Chile

In the late 1990s, Felipe I báñez and Jorge Gutiérrez, who had been friends since childhood, founded Viña Anakena in Alto Cachapoal, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains with the goal of crafting elegant, innovative, and distinctly New World wines that reflected their origin and Chile’s potential as a producer of world-class fine wines.

Convinced that high quality was synonymous with distinction, they visited the world’s most renowned wine regions to learn the latest
viticultural and enological techniques and bring them home to Chile along with most up-to-date technology for crafting fine wines. In 1999 they planted their first vineyard in Alto Cachapoal and built the Viña Anakena winery, leaving no detail to chance. This outstanding facility is modern, functional, and beautifully finished. This vintage was very
complicated because of the weather, on 15 of April in Chile rained between 40 mm to 120 mm depending of the valley. But mostly the grapes were harvested from Pencahue Valley where Lourdes have their own vineyard, so this didn’t impact in the quality of the wine.
