Root:1 Carmenere
Wine Description
Located between the Andes Mountains and the low coastal mountains of the Pacific Ocean, the warm and dry vineyards of El Suspiro in Peralillo are world-renowned for producing outstanding red wines with rich color, full body, and pure varietal character. The steep, rocky slopes of sand over clay help maintain moisture during the intense summer heat, while the coastal mountains temper the vines with the cool maritime influences of the Pacific. The rich, ripe flavor profile of Root: 1 Carmenere allows for a longer post maceration, resulting in a very smooth texture of soft tannins that develop complexity during the ten months of aging in American and French oak.
