About the wine
A refined, silky smooth Chilean red from the country's most highly regarded Carmenere growing region
- Not only is Carmenere Chile's most iconic grape, but the particular grapes used in this wine were grown in the Peumo Valley - the most premium growing region in the country.
- Cristián hand picks each and every grape to make sure only the cream of this first-rate crop is softly crushed into this super refined Chilean Carmenere.
- Soft as silk in the mouth with the full-bodied backing of rich dark fruit flavours of juicy plums and berries, warming spice and elegant wild herbs. It has a delightfully smokey and slightly savory character that gives this wine a complex edge that you'd expect from a wine double the price.
