Wine Description
The Story
Variety: 100% Carmenere
Origin: Trinidad Vineyard, Maipo Valley
Soil: Highly permeable granitic, stony soil, with a depth of between 0.6 to 1 metres.
Winemaking: The clusters were manually harvested and then transported and selected. The grapes first underwent a pre-fermentative low-temperature maceration to bring out the maximum colour and aromas. Then the must was fermented in stainless steel tanks. 100% of this wine was barrel-aged for 12 months (50% in French oak and 50% in American oak); 15% in new barrels. The wine was then bottle-aged for 3 months.
Tasting notes: Cherry red with maroon hues. Prominent on the nose are ripe black and red fruit, together with spicy notes intermingled with hints of chocolate, coffee and tobacco. The mouth shows balanced structure, good body and big, velvety tannins with great volume in the finish
