"A 100% Carmenere from the Max V vineyard, considered the best on the estate, a rare cuvée in very limited quantities!"
"Errázuriz selects its best carmenere vineyards in Panquehue, in the center of the Aconcagua Valley, planted on the terraces of the Aconcagua River, for this wine, its best carmenere. Aged for 22 months in casks, 60% of which are new, this wine gives no hint of the heat of 2020. Instead of sweet, candied fruit, here we find ripe red fruits, light herbal touches and a nervous, firm texture backed by juicy acidity. A new-school Carmenere, which strives to extract the maximum freshness from the grape variety". (Descorchados - Patricio Tapia 2023)

About the wine:
The nose is marked by tobacco leaf, spices, wild herbs, lavender, juniper and white pepper, as well as redcurrant and black cherry. The palate is generous and supple, with silky, juicy tannins and a long finish. Delicious and layered now, but can be cellared.

About the wine:
Kai is a little-known Errázuriz wine, although it has been part of the range since 2005. Aromas of violets and cut grass melt into a fleshy, textured and well-balanced palate, with flavors of plum and black cherry and a harmonious integration of oak. 2024-2030
