Description

Carmin De Puemo 2019

Carmenere, with small percentages of Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon. From the Peumo Vineyard, D.O. Peumo, Cachapoal Valley. The soil profile presents perfect proportions of sand, silt, and clay, because it is in the second colluvial-alluvial terrace and is associated with the riverbed, which allows for fresher, more elegant wines.The clay retains water, which contributes to good ripening in the grapes. The retention characteristics are
perfect for controlling plant growth.

Deep, dark red with violet undertones. Very elegant, complex, with notes of blackberry and a touch of blackcurrant. Full on the palate, with mature underlying tannins, concentrated and profound, with a long aertaste that is distinctive of the Peumo soil.

Selected bunches are destemmed, and the grapes are dropped gently into stainless steel tanks for fermentation for 5–7 days. 15 months in French oak barrels, 85% first use and 15% second and third use.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
