This is an exclusive release, with only a small quantity available. Each batch reflects the care and attention poured into crafting this exceptional wine.
Due to its limited availability, we invite you to secure your batch today.
Carménère is a rich, full-bodied red wine known for its deep, dark color and velvety texture. It originates from Bordeaux, France, but is now most famously grown in Chile, where it thrives in the warm climate and fertile soils. Here’s a breakdown of its characteristics:
Aroma and Flavor Profile:
- Nose: Carménère typically offers inviting aromas of dark fruits like black cherry, plum, and blackberry, often accompanied by herbal notes such as green pepper, bay leaf, and blackcurrant leaf.
- Palate: The flavors are bold and layered, with ripe black fruit dominating, along with hints of cocoa, coffee, and black pepper. The herbal undertones add complexity, making it stand out from other red wines.
Acidity and Tannins:
- The wine has moderate acidity and soft, rounded tannins, making it approachable and easy to drink.
Food Pairing:
- Carménère pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and dishes with earthy or smoky flavors. It also complements mildly spiced cuisines, such as Mexican or Indian dishes.
Color and Texture:
- The color is a deep ruby red, sometimes with a purplish hue. It has a smooth and supple mouthfeel, leaving a lingering, pleasant finish.
Aging Potential:
- While Carménère can be enjoyed young, some bottles can benefit from a few years of aging, which enhances its complexity and smooths out the flavors.
