Antares Carmenere

Another top-notch Chilean red wine created by the winemakers of Vina Santa Carolina, the winery that houses Antares. This Chilean winery has been producing wine since 1875! A relatively old winery by Chilean standards, Antares has tapped into Chile's national pride: Carmenere. The grapes for this Chilean wine are grown in the Maipo Valley, a wine region just south of Santiago, Chile's capital. A fantastic Chilean wine region that is gaining increasing recognition from wine lovers worldwide.

Carmenere is Antares' favorite wine

Carmenere may have originated in France, but this crowd-pleaser has become the pride of Chile. Nowhere else in the world is so much Carmenere planted than in Chilean vineyards, and not without reason. Its characteristic is the combination of both softness and complexity. Nothing is as versatile as Carmenere. With Antares Carmenere, Vina Santa Carolina wanted to demonstrate why Chileans love this gentle grape so much. When we had the opportunity to taste this Chilean wine, we were indeed convinced. This is how a Chilean wine should taste.
