It was full of fruity berry flavours, and nice tannins.
I thought it had an aroma of jelly babies, and tasted of mouthwateringly sweet ripe cherries, and delicious chocolate. Very enjoyable indeed.
This wine is made from Carmenere, a dark-skinned grape which is originally from the vineyards of Bordeaux, but is now happily at home in Chile.
The Carmenere grape is grown in the Maipo Valley, which is one of the most important wine-producing regions in Chile. It is located just South of the capital, Santiago, often described as the 'Bordeaux of South America'.
From the label -
Gran Reserva quality wine, very elegant and distinctive. It is produced with carefully, hand selected grapes, coming from our vineyards located in the Maipo Valley, one of the best terroirs in Chile for this wonderful variety.
This Carmenere is very concentrated wine.
It is an intensely red coloured wine with violet tones. Its aromas evoke notes of blueberries and black forest fruit, truffles and violets. On the palate tannins and pleasant ending.
Recommended serve at 17c and is ideal for accompanying risottos, steaks and vegetables. 14% Vol.
