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.

Viña Carmen Gran Reserva Carménère

Carmen Gran Reserva Carménère, a single-varietal Carménère from the Colchagua Valley, has an intensely fruity and spicy aroma.

There are also noticeable nuances of pepper and paprika, typical of Chilean Carménère. On the palate, the Carmen Gran Reserva Carménère is pleasantly structured and concentrated, with soft and velvety tannins. The deep ruby red shimmering wine matured for 14 months in French oak barrels. Its ageing potential is 6 to 7 years.Viña Carmen was founded in 1850, making it one of the oldest wineries in Chile. The winery was a driving force behind the renaissance of the Carménère grape variety in the mid-1990s and has an outstanding ability to bring the qualities of this grape variety to full fruition. The old Bordeaux grape variety 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 particular notes was a "stowaway", so to speak, in the growing regions: the Carménère grape variety.The well-known US wine critic James Suckling said: "Really beautiful aromas of blackberries and flowers with black licorice and mushrooms, followed by a full body." At the same time, the red wine is "dense and precise with a fine tannin texture and a long, spicy finish".Try this dry red wine with spicy pasta variations, pheasant or duck. The ideal drinking temperature is around 18 degrees. Our recommendation: open the wine about an hour before drinking.
