About wine:
This Carmenère wine comes from the privileged wine-growing region of the Maule Valley, and its intense ruby color reflects the coastal conditions.
-
Harvest and ageing:
The ripening of the hand-picked grapes is influenced by the climate of the Pacific Ocean. The wine undergoes cold fermentation for 48 hours at 10ºC. It is then fermented at warm temperatures in stainless steel tanks for 12 days at 24–28ºC. Finally, it undergoes so-called hot fermentation for 8 days. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Suitable for food pairing
Dry Carménère pairs beautifully with grilled red meat, cured meats, and spicy dishes. It also complements blue cheeses and Mexican or South American cuisine. Avoid delicate fish and overly light dishes, which would be overshadowed by its bold flavor.
