Drink it now or cellar for 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour.

After working as an executive winemaker with some top Chilean wineries, in 2004 Californian Ed Flaherty established his independent boutique winery in Chile. Starting with 1.200 bottles of a single red blend a year, he reached a production of 40.000 bottles in 2015 including three red blends from Aconcagua and Cauquenes. About half of his wine is sold in Chile, while the rest is exported to Brazil, Germany, Korea, and the US.

The Petit Sirah grapes come from the Tequel vineyard, located in the Maule wine region, about 40 km from the Pacific Ocean, on clayey soils of granite origin. The traditional farming techniques, the refreshing influence of the sea, and the resistance of this vine to dry farming allow cultivation without irrigation. The finished wine is left to rest for 30 months in new American oak barrels (25%) and used French oak barrels (75%).

The Flaherty Tequel Petite Sirah is a large and complex wine with an intense aromatic profile with aromas of blackberry, plum, blueberry, and notes of sweet spices. On the palate, it is round and rustic with soft tannins and a graphite undertone that continues into the finish. It is ready to drink now, paired with red meat and lamb, but can age beautifully in the cellar for over 10 years.
