Black cherry with smoky chocolate.
Rich ruby red with a youthful radiance. The rim shimmers purple, a clear sign of its freshness. The dense color structure leaves slow-moving streaks in the glass – an indication of rich extract and maturity. The light breaks into fine reflections, deep and inviting.
The initial burst of aroma reveals juicy black cherry and cassis, followed by roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate. Underneath, a hint of leather and black pepper adds complexity. Subtle woody notes contribute a delicate spice – elegant, complex, powerful.
Powerful yet smooth. Ripe dark berries dance on the palate, accompanied by velvety tannins. The mid-palate offers a vibrant freshness reminiscent of dark plums. The long finish resonates with fine spice, dark chocolate, and a hint of tobacco. Deep, long, precise.
Ecuador may not be the first country that comes to mind for great red wines, but that's exactly what makes this blend so exciting. Calcareous soil, Pacific breezes, high altitude – all this gives the six grape varieties structure and depth. 24 months in French oak? Pure elegance.
The wine miracle from the equator.
Dos Hemisferios is a pioneering winery in Ecuador, daring to do the seemingly impossible: viticulture directly on the equator. With great passion, family spirit, and a drive for innovation, they produce exceptional wines that put the "middle of the world" country on the international wine map.
It's hard to believe that fine wine grapes can thrive in Ecuador, right on the equator – yet Dos Hemisferios proves exactly that. In 1999, the Wright family laid the foundation for this adventure by purchasing 360 hectares of land in San Miguel del Morro. Until then, Ecuador had not exactly been considered a wine country. On barren coastal soil, kissed by the tropical sun and a cool sea breeze, the wine pioneers initially planted table grapes – with astonishing success.
In 2004, the next step followed: the best clones of classic grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay were imported. With the support of Argentine star oenologist Abel Furlán, the first top Ecuadorian wine was produced in 2006: the Cabernet-Malbec Cuvée "Paradoja" 2006. Its name (Paradox) says it all: viticulture on the equator long seemed impossible. The first edition of 1200 bottles was sold to friends who were enthusiastic about the quality and character of this wine.
Today, the vision has become a flourishing family winery. Dos Hemisferios cultivates twelve different grape varieties (nine red, three white) and has over 30 different wines in its portfolio – from fruity young wines to elegant Reservas.
Over 40 international awards later, Dos Hemisferios presents its wines worldwide at trade fairs and proves: Here in the middle of the world, the impossible is made possible anew with every bottle. And we are exclusively allowed to import the wines for Europe.
