Every morning, in the Valley of Curico, the Andes Mountain sun rises initiating the ritual union of land & vine. These dry vineyards situated in the coastal inland of the Pacific Cordillera enjoy a warm climate ideal for production of Chiles most emblematic wine, Carmenere, giving it intense, spicy character. Great intensity of colour. Its aromas powerfully express the character of the Camenere varietal (forest fruits, eucalyptus, & leather), with notes of torrefaction-laurel & clove-licorice & black pepper. Great fullness on the palate & robust tannins. Retro-nasal aromas of toasted bread & spices ending in a long finish. This great wine is the ideal companion for roast lamb or pig as well as meats cooked over coals & spiced with aromatic herbs & licorice.
