Deep red in colour with violet hues. The nose presents notes of fresh red fruit like raspberries, intermingled with hints of white pepper and herbal notes, along with soft spice. In the mouth, this is a very elegant wine with firm structure and pronounced, chalky tannins, fresh acidity and it is well-balanced and long. This Carmenere reflects Apalta’s higher-elevation vineyards and is atypical of Chilean Carmenere because its origin in a high-altitude mountain vineyard has made it a nervous wine with great tension in the mouth. This is definitely a Carmenere worth cellaring.

Made from 94 % Carmenere - 4 % Cabernet Sauvignon - 2 % Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for 22 months: 70 % in extra-fine grain, second-use, 300-litre French oak barrels, and 30 % in a French oak foudre. And the wine spent a minimum of 1 year in the bottle.
