Cono Sur Carmenere Reserva Especial 2020 0,75l

Cono Sur Reserva Especial Carmenere comes from selected plots in Chile’s Colchagua Valley and shows the grape at its most concentrated yet elegant. Vines rooted in well-drained, gravelly-clay soils are farmed sustainably and harvested at optimal ripeness. After fermentation the wine spends several months in French oak, gaining spice, structure and polish. The bouquet displays blackberries, blackcurrants and black cherries with notes of chocolate, mocha, red berries and sweet oak. On the palate this carmenere is full-bodied, rich and velvety, with ripe, rounded tannins and balanced acidity. A long, spicy, fruit-laden finish makes it an excellent choice with grilled beef, hearty stews, mature cheeses and boldly seasoned Latin-inspired dishes.

Twelve months in stainless steel tank preserve the clear fruit and give this Carmenere a rounded, approachable frame.

Cono Sur

Between Pacific fog and Andean light in Chile, Cono Sur has been shaping a clean, contemporary identity since 1993, with the bicycle as a quiet tribute to vineyard life. Born as a Concha y Toro subsidiary, the winery built its reputation on quality, innovation and sustainability rather than lineage....

The grape variety: Carménère

Carménère is a historic Bordeaux grape that has become strongly associated with Chile. It shows dark berry fruit, plum, pepper, herbs, soft tannins and often a subtle paprika note.

Its smooth, spicy style is ideal with grilled meat, barbecue, roast vegetables, burgers and lamb. Carménère is exciting because it offers richness and softness with a distinctive savoury signature. Carménère
