Carmenere may have originated in France, but this crowd-pleaser has become the pride of Chile. Nowhere else in the world is so much Carmenere planted than in Chilean vineyards, and not without reason. Its characteristic is the combination of both softness and complexity. Nothing is as versatile as Carmenere. With Antares Carmenere, Vina Santa Carolina wanted to demonstrate why Chileans love this gentle grape so much. When we had the opportunity to taste this Chilean wine, we were indeed convinced. This is how a Chilean wine should taste.
The Antares Carmenere is a 100% Carmenere wine. The grapes for this Chilean gem are gently pressed and fermented after harvest. The result is stunning. All your senses are on edge when you open this bottle. You're right. All that beauty for this price! Unbelievable. You smell intensity in the Antares Carmenere. Plenty of dark fruit, such as blackberries, berries, and a hint of cassis. But complex aromas also tantalize your nose. Toffee, spices, and ripe plums. We're getting thirsty! Take a sip and be amazed by the smoothness of Antares Carmenere. It's like falling into a down comforter. You taste plums, dark fruit, spices, black pepper, and a hint of toffee. It's soft and flavorful. A sight to behold, and not without reason, Chilean pride!
