Viña Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

This single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Alto Valley offers a multi-faceted bouquet. The Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvingon smells of ripe berries such as black cherries and blackcurrants, a sweetish spice (mint, paprika and pepper) and tobacco. On the palate, this red wine from Chile is full-bodied, with a smooth texture and sweet, concentrated and velvety tannins. This Reserva has a great length.

The Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvingon was matured for 14 months in French oak barrels. The dry red wine is already a wonderful taste experience, but can also be stored for another 6 to 7 years.

Viña Carmen was founded in 1850, making it one of the oldest wineries in Chile. The winery was also a driving force behind the renaissance of the Carmenere grape variety in the mid-1990s. The old Bordeaux grape variety had almost completely disappeared in France due to the phylloxera plague. However, it found its way to Chile at the time. There it remained undiscovered for decades, as Carmenere and Merlot vines are very similar. For many years, there was the "Chilean Merlot", which was particularly spicy with notes of green pepper. It was not until 1994 that it was discovered that the cause of these particular notes was a "stowaway", so to speak, in the growing regions: the Carmenere grape variety.

Over the decades, Viña Carmen's outstanding locations in Chile and extensive experience in viticulture have earned it many international awards, both for the winery as a whole and for many individual creations. The Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvingon, for example, received a proud 92 points from James Suckling for the current vintage and the Platinum Medal with 97 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Enjoy the Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvingon with rabbit or duck as well as a more intense cheese such as parmesan or cheddar. The ideal drinking temperature is around 16-18 degrees. Tip: Open the wine about an hour before drinking.

Escudo Rojo Carménère Reserva
The Carménère grape variety is one of the flagships of Chilean viticulture. The "Wines of Chile" organization refers to it as "Chile's own signature grape". This is exemplified by the high-quality Escudo Rojo Carménère:The wine has an intense and deep red color. On the nose, it is fresh and powerful, with aromas of blackberries, a subtle hint of oak and spices.On the palate, it is initially elegant and powerful, then harmonious and sensual, with notes of black berries, rounded off by ripe tannins that melt into a long finish and bring out the special character of Carménère from Chile's Rapel Valley.This wine is a good accompaniment to beef carpaccio, chicken, veal escalope, vegetable curry or cheese.The Rapel Valley is located in central Chile, 200 kilometers south of Santiago. The growing area for the vines from which this outstanding wine is made stretches from the Andes to the Pacific coast. The Mediterranean climate is ideal for growing Carménère, as the grape variety is sensitive to cool, damp weather. This is one reason why it never achieved the status in Europe - after the phylloxera catastrophe - that it now has in Chile.The grapes are harvested by hand. The 100 percent Carménère matures for six to eight months in oak barrels.
