Tasting note
Made with semi-dried grapes, like an Amarone, this fabulous vintage has a vibrant, concentrated colour with enticing aromas reminiscent of northern Italian wine, aromas of mulberry, wild cherry and elderberry, with espresso and a tiny hint of capsicum to remind you that it is in fact Carmenere. Mouthfilling and full-bodied, it has super-succulent, plushy tannins and an attractive hint of grilled red pepper. You would need to pay several times as much to find an Amarone of this quality!
Viticulture
Located 400 km north of Santiago on the edge of the Atacama Desert, Elqui Valley is Chile’s most northern wine producing region, Carmenere is widely planted in this region.
Vinification
Hand picked in small bins of 15 Kg. 60% of the grapes are treated with the appassimento technique, like an Amarone.
Food Match
Pairs well with grilled meat, pork loin, pastas with meat-based sauce and spicy food.
