Tasting Notes

Deep purple-red with violet hints, offering an expressive, spice-led nose layered with fresh-edged black and red fruit. The palate is round and juicy with a balanced, full feel and a long, fresh finish.

Food Paring

Pair with grilled skirt steak, lamb chops, or smoky barbecue to match the wine’s depth and peppery freshness. It also shines with mushroom ragù or aged Gouda, where the savory notes and tannins feel seamless.

Professional Reviews

96 James Suckling

"A nice touch of baked cherries and dark chocolate to the deep blackberry fruit. Ink and a touch of graphite and dried herbs. Full-bodied and pretty powerful with fine-grained tannins and a long, extensive finish. 68% carmenere, 16% cabernet sauvignon,15% merlot and 1% cabernet franc. Give it two more years to let the fruit settle more."

Region Information

Valle Central is Chile’s most important wine‑producing region, extending across a broad area with varied subregions. Mediterranean climate conditions, cooling influences from the Andes and Pacific Ocean, and fertile valleys make it ideal for a wide range of grape varieties. Valle Central wines are known for ripe fruit character, balance, and consistent quality.

Chile’s unique geography, bordered by mountains, ocean, and desert, helps protect its vineyards from disease. The country produces reliable, high-quality wines with excellent value. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Sauvignon Blanc are key varieties. Chilean winemaking balances consistency, innovation, and strong export markets.
