Carmenere, Chile's national pride

Carmenere is originally a grape from France, specifically Bordeaux. However, this grape was completely wiped out by phylloxera. From the late 19th century onwards, the grape was planted sparsely in Chile, where Carmenere thrived. Today, the vast majority of Carmenere is planted in the vast Chilean landscape. Carmenere has a low yield per hectare, but this all benefits its quality. In recent years, a growing number of top wines have been produced from Carmenere. Caliterra Tributo Carmenere translates all its fine qualities into a liquid delight. Every sip will leave you dreaming.
