Description
This wine from a warmer vintage shows an important aromatic and flavor concentration. On the nose, the typically minted notes of the grape combine with floral aromas (violets), denoting an elegant primary expression. On the mouth the weight and volume of the wine is noticeable; it enters the palate and expands giving the sensation of taking all the space available. It is persistent and long, with fine and non-angular tannins. This wine is a favorite to pair with traditional Chilean cuisine, which includes onions, peppers and raisins. It goes very well too with soy-based preparations, including pork, duck or greens. Cheeses with a slight sweetness such as Gruyere or Chanco. A winemaker favorite is pork stew cooked with aromatic herbs. May excel as a pairing for mint-based sauces.

The winery sources grapes from Cachapoal Valley to make this ripe Carménère. The bouquet includes meaty black-fruit aromas. The palate is rich and firm, with ripe raspberries, blueberries, cherries and grass. Good acidity adds freshness to this enjoyable red.

A trim, savory style, offering smoked pepper and dried flower accents to the fleshy plum core. Ends with firming, espresso-laced tannins. Best after 2025. 2,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
