More informations about the variety Carmenère
Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.

Southernmost vineyard at the end of the world (southern Chile, cold desert climate, extreme latitudes). Pinot Noir reigns: elegant, silky, intense cherry, cranberry, ripe strawberry, forest floor and fresh-saline touch, remarkable finesse, preserved natural acidity, "less is more" philosophy. Crisp Chardonnay, taut Riesling and precise Sauvignon Blanc in whites. Merlot and Malbec in reds.
