“A wine that reflects its terroir and showcases all the distinctive characteristics of the Carmenere grape: a must-try!”

"With exceptional purity and freshness, this wine reveals elegant aromas of sweet alyssum and red currant, with an underlying note of damp stone. The palate is lively yet structured, centered on juicy notes of Santa Rosa plums and wild berries that linger on the finish, accompanied by hints of cocoa powder and paprika, as well as fine tannins with mineral notes. Enjoy now through 2035.” (Wine Spectator 2025)

About the wine:

Aromas of sweet spices waft from the glass of this Carménère from the Cachapoal Valley. Notes of cherry round out its aromatic profile. The palate mirrors the nose, revealing rich notes of chocolate and clove, followed by black and red berries. This lively wine features firm tannins, offering a solid structure that carries the flavors through to a finish with herbaceous notes.
