The Viña Carmen Insigne Carménère smells of red and black fruits such as strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries as well as rhubarb. The bouquet is enriched by fine nuances of vanilla, olives and chocolate as well as an underlying peppery spiciness. On the palate, the Carménère from the Central Valley is powerful and balanced. The tannins have a beautiful intensity and are silky at the same time. This dry red wine from the traditional Viña Carmen also impresses with its beautiful length.
The winery was a driving force behind the renaissance of the Carménère grape variety in the mid-1990s. Viña Carmen has an outstanding ability to bring out the qualities of this grape variety. The old Bordeaux grape variety once 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. 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 special notes was a "stowaway", so to speak, in the growing regions: the Carménère grape variety.
French and American oak were used in the ageing of Carmen Carménère, enhancing the aromatic diversity of this beautiful red wine from Chile. Discover it with lamb or chicken, braised meat or mature cheese. Also a good choice with a chocolate dessert.
