Aliwen Sacred Tree Reserva Carmenere 2024
Region del Valle Central, ChileAliwen is often interpreted to mean “sacred tree” or “tree of life,” reflecting the indigenous Mapuche peoples' worldview in which trees are living, spiritual connectors between the earth, people, and the wider universe. Look for a fragrant carmenère nose full of ripe red fruits, spice, and oak streaked with mocha and tobacco. It is a fresh, juicy red with ripe, sweet tannins and an earthy desert scrub. This carménère hails from the Rapel Valley. On average, about 70% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for nine months in a mix of second, third, and fourth use French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels. The remaining 30% was stored in stainless steel tanks.Tasted: 14 February 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $17.99 | 750ml | BCL Exclusive |
