Amber Carménère

85% Carmenère, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

$7.990

Born in Melipilla, Maipo Valley, this Carménère grows in granitic and clay loam soils of foothills, an ideal terroir for this variety. The Pacific coastal influence is felt through morning mists and cool breezes that moderate temperatures, allowing the grapes to slowly develop their spicy character and ripe tannins.

After a manual harvest during the first week of May, the wine undergoes a three-day cold maceration at 6°C (41°F). Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures to preserve the varietal profile. An 8-month rest in used French and American oak barrels for 50-60% of the blend provides elegant complexity without dulling the fruit.

It has an intense, deep carmine color with violet edges. It is a very expressive wine on the nose, with notes of red and black fruits, pepper, and earthy touches that intertwine with subtle toast and vanilla aromas. The palate is smooth and friendly in texture, a fresh wine with a long finish. It is recommended to be served at 17°C, and its spicy character makes it ideal for a chicken chili or a mild vegetable curry.
