This is a superb little red from Chile; full of flavour, yet soft and delicate; a bargain we drop.
The Carmenere grape originated from France, but when phylloxera hit they shipped all the unaffected grapes into Chile and the rest is history. Its hugely popular as its a soft red wine with heaps of fruit flavours. They follow organic principles so the wine is unfiltered, like most of NZ's Pinot Noir now.
Intense red colour with a purplish rim, this wine offers fruity aromas of plums and strawberry, accompanied by spicy notes. In mouth it has a soft texture, ripe tannins and nice acidity. Cork closure.
Grapes – Carmenere.
