- This intensely colored Carmenere delivers exuberant red fruit aromas, through to a fruity palate with juicy notes of cherry. With a smooth texture, this is a great easy-drinking wine.
The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and sorted to ensure only the healthy fruit was vinified. The fruit was then carefully crushed and destemmed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats, at controlled temperatures ranging between 28°C and 30°C, lasting for seven days. Post fermentation maceration took place over four days, to extract the aromatics of the Carmenere grape. Vinified without oak, to allow the purity of fruit to be fully expressed.
The grapes are grown in the Valle Central, where the land is flat, deep, and fertile, which makes it particularly suitable for the production of reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenere. The soil is sedimentary, with an average texture, clayey loam, and good drainage properties. The climate is humid Mediterranean, with moderately rainy winters, warm and dry summers, and cool nights. The average annual rainfall is 710 millimeters. These conditions ensure the production of healthy grapes with good varietal flavor characteristics.
