Las Condes' Carmenere vineyards are located in the Central Valley wine region. A perfect landscape characterized by warm summers, cooling winds from the Andes Mountains, and relatively cool nights. This creates the perfect climate, resulting in a perfect harvest of Carmenere grapes. Harvested at night at peak ripeness, the grapes are then sorted on sorting tables at Las Condes. Only the finest grapes nurture this red wine, and the skins are allowed to ferment for up to ten days, developing its unique color and aroma.
Upon opening the bottle, we immediately smell a powerful aroma of fresh red and black fruit, interspersed with subtle spices. In the glass, it gleams a beautiful ruby red with a purple glow. We swirl the glass briefly and bring our nose to it. And then the fun begins: a sultry aroma of fresh cherries, blackberries, and strawberries complemented by various spices. This delicate aroma continues into the palate, leaving a velvety sensation. It has a lovely depth with plenty of ripe fruit, dominated by cherries. The finish is softer than soft and leaves a lovely aftertaste.
