Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis carmenere is off 10-20 year old vines in Maule, and it spent one year in oak barriques, 90% French, and 20% new. It shows well the herbaceousness of the grape, as well as Maule's plush dark cocoa, and wild mint. This is backed by wild cassis, tobacco, charcoal, and framed with ample gritty tannins. Acidity is bright enough to carry, and welcomes partnering with charcoal grilled root veg and / or beef.Tasted: 13 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis archetypal carmenere combines ripe, lush fruit with an appealing savoury herbaceousness, showing jammy blackberry that's heightened by green peppercorn, spicy herbs, and subtle oak spices. It’s on point, both complex and well-defined, and true to variety and place: the Valle del Maule. Medium-full bodied, the tannins are ripe and fairly soft, with just enough freshness to keep it all in balance. If you like the savoury side of carmenere, you can't go wrong at this price.Tasted: 19 September 2021Tasted by: Prices:
