Estate Reserva Carmenère 2019

• 75cl bottle

Ruby-red color with a high layer of violet hints, the nose displays red pepper notes, with some sweet tones reminiscent of figs and cranberry, all framed by toasted notes and some clove. The palate is spicy, with notes of black fruits, figs, graphite and red pepper. A wine whose structure and texture highlight the typical appearance of the variety with fine-grained tannins, with a very smooth and pleasant palate.

Vineyards

The grapes for our Estate Carmenere were selected from our vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley. The Mediterranean climate in this zone features moderately warm summer days and fresh evening breezes. The high daytime-night time temperature oscillation in the weeks leading up to the harvest triggers high concentrations of polyphenols, intensifying the color of the wine.

Vintage

The 2019 season was dry and warm. Nonetheless, the absence of rains ensured the splendid conditions of our grapes. The harvest goes earlier as this was a dry season. The quality of our vineyards was demonstrated once again given the climatic fluctuations, droughts, and high temperatures, delivering grapes of excellent sanitary conditions and superb concentration, in benefit of preserving the aromas and acidity of the wines.

Winemaking

Grapes were harvested by the end of April and transported to the winery, where they were crushed and deposited in stainless steel tanks for their fermentation. 70% of the wine was aged for seven months in French oak barrels to allow rounder tannins and a good texture on the palate. Once the final blend was completed, it was stabilized and filtered before bottling.
