Wine Description

This Carmenere is sourced from our vineyards located on the coastal mountain range of the Colchagua Valley. Benefiting from a strong maritime influence, this is a very unique Carmenere, as it offers both a refreshing elegance and character.  

The constant breezes off the Pacific Ocean cool the grapes, slowly maturing the intense aromas of dark fruit and spice. Grapes were picked at maximum of maturity to maintain all of the aromatic potential. Together with the soft texture and intense flavors on the palate, this wine is a perfect expression of Carmenere from the coast of Chile.

Acclaim
“A juicy and fruity red with plum and fresh herb character like thyme and basil. Medium to full body, soft tannins and a fresh finish. Shows firmness down the center palate.”
— James Suckling, May 2017
“Fresh aromas with white pepper and red fruits. Nice weight on the palate with oak that wants the starring role.”
— Patricio Tapia, Jun 2017
