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.

The wine region of Peumo
Chilean DO in the Valle del Cachapoal (1994, narrow undulating corridor toward the Pacific, fertile well-draining loamy soils, warm climate with nights moderated by the Cachapoal river): Carmenère is the signature king red of Chile — full-bodied and concentrated with ripe sweet red berries, high alcohol, silky tannins, ages 15 years. Merlot, Malbec and Syrah as powerful red complements; an iconic zone for Chilean Carmenère.
The wine region of Central Valley
Heart of modern Chilean wine: structured, sunny reds, dense, blackcurranty Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo (Chilean cradle of the grape), signature Carménère with notes of ripe pepper, black fruit and sweet spices from Colchagua, supple Merlot and deep Syrah. Round Chardonnay whites and lively, sharp Sauvignon. Mediterranean climate, 400 km between Andes and Pacific. Star sub-regions: Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curicó, Maule.
The word of the wine: Cellar master
The cellar master is the technical manager of a winery (usually a professional oenologist), who presides over and oversees the wine-making process and its maturation. Unlike an oenologist in a wine laboratory, who intervenes on an ad hoc basis to assist the winemaker, the cellar master is part of the estate's technical team.
