De Martino Carmenere 2024
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileDe Martino Winery was founded in 1934, and now has 4th generation brothers Marco and Sebastián at the helm, Refreshed with a new label, this organic carmenere is still estate grown and bottled, as ever. This comes from the family's gravelled alluvial terraced vineyards in Isla de Maipo. The destemmed, lightly crushed fruit was macerated and native fermented in stainless over 10 days before half the wine was racked off into used French barriques, while the remainder stayed in stainless. After 6 more months, the wine was bottled. Juicy wild blueberries, cassis, and fragrant plums flood the medium palate, with slight tannins to frame, and tart cassis acidity to stream this through a boldo, bay leaf finish.Tasted: 31 October 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $22.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
