The warm days and cool nights of this estate vineyard in Colchagua Valley provide the long growing season for the Carmenere grape to reach its maximum potential, producing a wine that is deep, dark and pleasantly fragrant.
“The lost grape of Bordeaux” comes home to Chile with this subtly spicy, refreshingly fruity example that showcases how delightfully dynamic Carmenere can truly be.
