Carménère - Sauvignon Blanc
Origin:
Maule Valley, Chile
Composoition:
60% Carménère - 40% Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes:
Fresh citrus notes like passion fruit and lychee, mingled with pineapple and a hint of spice. No kidding! Nice acidity, balanced mouthfeel, and a grassy citrus and mineral finish.
Vinification:
The grapes were manually harvested using 10 kilo baskets, turned over into 400 kg. bins for transport to the winery. The Carménère grapes were pressed full bunch to reduce color extraction. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks between 12°-14° C.
Climate:
Long, dry summers, temperatures moderated by cooling influence of the Andes Mountains.
Soils:
Old riverbed, sandy, stony.
Ageing Potential:
Best consumed in 1 to 2 years.
Temperature:
It is recommended to drink between temperature 8° -10° C.
Passionfruit and spicy grass. No Kidding!
A rabbit is fuzzy and cute. A unicycle is an odd contraption. Each one by itself is a dignified creation. Put them together, and there's the trick! We pair dignified grapes together in such a way that - shazam! - Something wondrous comes out of it.
