Description

Why we love it
An innovative Chilean blend of Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre – fresh and fruity with an elegant spiced tone.

Tasting notes
Ruby red in colour. On the nose, clear notes of ripe red fruit and blackberries, accompanied by subtle vanilla, nutmeg and sweet cinnamon from the oak ageing. The palate is refreshing, with good acidity and fruit expression and smooth, juicy tannins. Black and red fruit emerge here, with an elegant and persistent finish.

Food pairing
Try with charcuterie, roast pork, duck or lamb kebabs.

Additional information
The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and cold soaked at 7°C for three to five days to extract aroma and colour. The temperature of the stainless-steel tanks was then raised naturally and fermentation began using indigenous yeasts. Fermentation took place over five to eight days, with manual punch downs and low-volume pump overs three times per day. The wine was kept on the skins for a further three to five days before 50% was racked into French-oak barrels (20% new) for malolactic conversion and matured for five months. The remaining 50% was kept in concrete tanks for the same period of time. The wine was filtered before bottling.

The blend is 50% Carignan, 30% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre.
