Carmenère Chilean signature with herbaceous and spiced notes. Supple Merlot, full-bodied Syrah.
Opulent Chardonnay and crisp Sauvignon. Unbeatable value.
Powerful, fruity reds with a deep ruby robe, supple but present tannins and fresh acidity, showing intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, sweet spices, liquorice and balsamic notes.
