Discover the best wines made with Carmenère as a single variety or as a blend of Кубань. Новороссийск.
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.
Russian Kuban sub-region around Novorossiisk on the Black Sea (Bordeaux latitude). Climate tempered by the sea, hot summers and cool nights.

Ample Chardonnay whites (pear, butter, flowers) and opulent Viognier (apricot, honey).
