ABOUT CARMENERE
Since nowhere else in the world is so much Carmenere grown, it may be regarded as a typical Chilean specialty. Until the arrival of Phyiloxera in Bordeaux, Carmenere was a much-grown variety there, but after this scourge it was not replanted at all. As Phylloxera continued to grow but it was rather lost sight of, often being planted and propagated in with Merlot.
Is one of the red varieties easier to distinguish by flavor, as much when tasting the fruit as the wine. It has a flavor profile of red pepper, coffee, black pepper, blueberries and blackberries. It has a deep purple color with sweet tannins that fill the mouth.
