A winemaker favorite is to pair it with meat empanadas with a spicy touch or with eggplant “parmigiana”
100% Carménère | 10% aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels
Casas del Bosque winery and vineyards are located in the Casablanca Valley. At just over 900 ft above sea level, and about 12 miles inland from the Pacific, the climate is ideal for producing cool climate wines; the estate vineyards are planted to Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Pinot Noir. The Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon red wines come from the Rapel and Maipo valleys where they contract specific vineyards sites for their wines.
About the Winemaker - Meinard Jan Bloem
Good color, intense purple with violet hues. The wine is lively and vibrant, with notes of tobacco and spices. On the nose the fruit and tobacco leaf notes blend well with aromas of roasted coffee and cocoa from the barrel. The palate is balanced and consistent with the nose aromas. It has the juiciness of a young wine and the roundness of Carménère. The sensation on the palate is of a voluptuous wine with soft tannins. An excellent representation of its origin.
