Tasting Notes
This vintage opens with a vibrant burst of ripe raspberries and dark cherries, underpinned by the subtle earthiness of green pepper and fragrant herbs. Hints of fresh mocha and dark chocolate add layers of richness, while a fine thread of granitic minerality enhances its complexity. The palate is smooth and fleshy, with refined tannins, a medium body, and refreshing acidity that keeps each sip beautifully balanced and mouthwatering.

Winery | The grapes come from a carefully selected 4.05-hectare vineyard in Peumo, on the western side of the Valle de Cachapoal, in an area known for producing the best Carmenare wines in Chile. The climate in Peumo suits Carmenare; its latitude ensures high temperatures throughout the ripening period, but its proximity to the Pacific Ocean results in gentle breezes that encourage the grapes to retain acidity, resulting in fresh flavours and aromas in the wine. The vineyard is situated at 171 metres above sea level, where the red clay soils are one metre deep and retain moisture to nourish the vines. Below the clay profile lies decomposing granite rock with greater drainage, enabling excess winter and springtime moisture to drain for better plant balance. The grapes come from a small, low-yielding plot of ungrafted vines planted in 1998. The vines are subjected to strict irrigation control during the ripening period. The yield is just 1.7 kilograms per plant, providing the necessary concentration for a deeply flavoured wine. |
