    This wine has fresh aromas of spices, pepper, ripe black fruit and a mineral hint with notes of graphite. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied with intense, ripe fruit. It has a silky-smooth texture, balanced by elegant tannins and fresh acidity. It has depth and weight in the mouth, along with a very long finish. This wine can be enjoyed while still youthful, but it has sufficient structure to develop greater complexity over time.

    1. WA –

      They didn’t produce their single-vineyard Carmenere in 2016, but I tasted the 2017 Single Vineyard Alto de Piedras and also the 2018. This is going more in the direction of an old-school claret, with moderate alcohol (this is 13.3%) and ripeness for a warm and dry year like 2017, when they harvested earlier. You can feel the warm year, but the wine is terribly harmonious. It has a fine texture and is serious and balanced, really impressive.

    2. JS –

      Loads of roasted herbs here, infused with dried meat, against a background of brambleberries and blueberries. Medium to full body, some nicely structured tannins and a really vibrant finish. Savory and herbal in all the right ways.

    Carmenere

    The Carmenere grape varietal, often dubbed the "lost grape of Bordeaux," has embarked on a fascinating journey of rediscovery, finding its truest expression in the vineyards of South America, particularly Chile. Originally one of the six red grapes of Bordeaux, Carmenere's unique qualities have found a home where it thrives and flourishes like never before. This grape, with its deep dark skin, originated in Bordeaux but has discovered its ideal habitat in Chile. The country's climate and soil conditions provide the nurturing environment necessary for Carmenere's success. This late-ripening grape requires abundant sunshine and a warm summer to reach its fullest potential. It's no wonder that Chile's climate, with its sunny days and moderate rainfall, has proven to be the ideal match for...Please check Carmenere for more information
