Cono Sur Single Vineyard Carmenere

Country: Chile Region: Cachapoal Valley

Varietal: 100% Carmenere

Category: Red Wine Style: Dry

Producer: Cono Sur 

Description:
Founded in 1993, with the vision of producing premium, expressive and innovative wines. Selected for its location at the foothills of a transversal mountain range, the La Riconada (Corner) Block is a part of the Peumo Estate in the extreme northern sector of the prestigious Cachapoal Valley. One of the most prized origins for this once extinct French variety, ample sunlight exposure and heavy clay soils with granite on the surface allow for optimum ripeness.

Tasting Notes:
This deep violet-red Carmenere has good aromatic intensity with notes of blackberries, cherries, plum, licourice, mocha and black pepper. On the palate it is concentrated with smooth, round tannins and good acidity and persistence. 

Food Matches: Enjoy with barbecued meat, cheeses, pastas, spices and well-seasoned sauces.
