Tasting Notes
Ruby red color, heightened by the larger body and skin typical of the Carménère grape. A fresh nose displays spice and black pepper. The acidity is well balanced with the tannins round and full through to a lingering finish.
Food Pairing
A good steak is the perfect companion to this wine. It also fits well with a traditional corn cake.
Winemaking Notes
Fermentation between 27°C to 29°C to obtain rich color and structure. It is completed and complemented with malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in first, second and third fill barrels for 12 - 14 months.
