The Cono Sur Bicicleta Organic Cabernet Carmenere Syrah is a brilliant example of Chile’s modern winemaking with an eco-conscious heart. This organic red blend showcases the winemaking finesse of Cono Sur, a producer celebrated for combining environmental responsibility with expressive, fruit-forward wines. This bottle is part of the Bicicleta range—named in honour of the bicycles used by the winery’s workers as a nod to their sustainable lifestyle.
Founded in 1993 and based in the renowned wine-producing region of Central Valley, Cono Sur has rapidly gained recognition for producing high-quality wines with a strong environmental focus. As one of the first Chilean producers to earn organic certification for their vineyards, they’ve received multiple international accolades, including sustainability awards and high ratings for their organic wines. Their ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions and preserving biodiversity makes each bottle a testament to progressive winemaking.
This particular blend brings together the powerful structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, the signature green pepper and black fruit tones of Carmenere, and the plush, velvety mouthfeel of Syrah. The result is a bold yet balanced wine that suits a wide variety of palates.
