The 2022 Carmenere Cuvee Alexandre, sourced from Apalta in the Colchagua Valley, presents a ripe and precise expression. Purple in hue, it exudes soft ash and marmalade aromas with hints of blackberry and boldo. Dry, rich and bold, the voluminous palate is fairly fleshy and reactive due to its muscular, rounded tannins. This is an intense and flavorful Apalta Carmenere

This wine comes from vines in Apalta within the Colchagua Valley, one of Carménère’s favorite spots in Chile. It opens with an inviting nose of oak spices and blueberry jam. Concentrated black-fruit flavors are bright on the palate. The finish is long, with hints of vanilla.
