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.
When we first tasted this wine, we were speechless. Caliterra Tributo Carmenere offered us astronomically high quality, and we immediately became big fans. Perfect in aroma, excellent in flavor. Our tasting notes were spot on. The aroma is broad, complex, and profound. Spices, black pepper, licorice, and cloves, but also hints of blackberry and fig. The palate is full and robust, yet remains velvety smooth. Flavors of dark chocolate and tobacco reveal the wine's 12-month oak aging. The rounded character of Caliterra Tributo Carmenere, combined with its pleasant freshness, makes for a successful red wine.
