Blue Carmenere

DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN: With Designation of Origin Peumo and Puente Alto, this Carmenere is harvested in the third week of May, achieving optimal ripeness and a true expression of its terroir.,

AGING:

Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, with 30% first use and 70% second use, delivering complexity, elegance, and a subtle integration of oak.

VINEYARD:

The Peumo vineyard is located 120 km south of Santiago at 120 meters above sea level, with an East–West orientation that follows the natural slope of the land. Trained on a vertical trellis with spur pruning and planted 100% on original rootstock, it allows for excellent sun exposure and contributes to the wine’s remarkable structure. The soils, a mix of alluvial deposits from the Cachapoal River and colluvial material from the Coastal Range, offer ideal conditions for growing Carmenere.

TASTING NOTES:

Deep, dark purple in color, this wine captures the pure essence of Carmenere, with intense aromas of blueberries, wild berries, dried flowers, roses, and a subtle hint of black pepper. On the palate, it offers fresh acidity, round tannins, and a rich fruit expression that lingers in a long, well-balanced finish.

SOIL:

Loamy-clay alluvial soils typical of the Cachapoal Riverbanks. The presence of clay ensures excellent moisture retention, promoting balanced growth and high-quality Carmenere grapes.

WEATHER:

Warm Climatete, moderated by the influence of Lake Rapel. The season was cool, with a light rainfall in late January that contributed to the slow and balanced ripening of the Carmenere grapes.
