Resorts World Genting is excited to announce the introduction of its new house wine from Hacienda Araucano, marking the first time a Chilean wine has been selected. The official launch is set for 19 June 2024.
Hacienda Araucano, a distinguished winery located near Lolol in the Colchagua Valley of Chile, will now grace the tables of Resorts World Genting. This vineyard, renowned for its cooling Pacific Ocean breezes, produces premium wines that have garnered international acclaim.
The new house wines include:
Araucano Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
François planted the Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon in 2000 on the virgin terroir in the judicious Lolol Valley of granite schist soils. The wine is harvested in crates, plot-by-plot selection, double sorting on arrival to remove impurities.The result is a beautiful ruby colour with blue touches. Aromas driven by ripe fruit, particularly blackberries and cherries with vanilla and toasted notes round out the aromatic spectrum. The wine is full and smooth in the attack, bearing witness to a warm vintage, with a lingering, aromatic finish of ripe fruit.
Humo Blanco Lolol Valley Chardonnay
