TASTING NOTES: 

Reserva Carménère reveals the typicity and elegance of its origins. A deep violet-red colour with intense aromas of red and black fruit, bitter chocolate, notes of herbs, toast, tobacco and olives.

A fresh and broad mouth; nice palate with gentle and mature tannins, plus its typical black pepper and spicy character. Ideal to pair with casserole dishes, red meat, stews, lamb, sausages. Also, it goes perfect with typical Chilean preparations such as corn dishes (pastel de choclo, and humitas), porotos granados (beans) and empanadas
