Reserve Carmenere

This Carménère Reserva comes from Melipilla, in the Maipo Valley, from vineyards located on piedmont soils of granitic origin and clay loam texture. The valley's Mediterranean climate, moderated by coastal influence, allows for a long ripening period, essential for Carmenere to develop its characteristic palette of spicy aromas and soft tannins.

Manual harvesting takes place during the first week of May, seeking the optimal point of ripeness. Its winemaking includes a 3-day cold maceration. Then, between 50% and 60% of the blend is aged for 6 months in used French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity without overshadowing the varietal character.

It displays a deep and intense carmine color. The nose is very expressive, with notes of red and black fruits, along with the characteristic spicy note of the variety, with pepper and earthy hints that intertwine with subtle touches of toast and vanilla. On the palate it is soft, with a friendly texture, fresh, and with a long finish. It is recommended to serve at 17°C with a tomaticán or baked empanadas de pino.
