Cabernet Sauvignon (80 percent) finds its finest, perfect expression in this soil and climate. It allows for the development of incomparable aromas and tannins, which give the wine its character and aging potential.

After the grapes are selected, destemmed, and pressed, alcoholic fermentation takes place between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The wine is macerated for about fifteen days to develop the fine aromas. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in barrels to give the wine more body. Baron Nathaniel is blended at the Saint-Laurent-Médoc estate. The wine is partially aged in wooden barrels for about eight months. After refining and bottling in the second year, the wine ages for a long period in the estate's cellars.

The land surrounding the estate was very fertile and was used for hunting and winemaking. However, at that time, the wine yielded little, and the family earned little wealth. Almost 200 years later, in 1970, Syrah was cultivated extensively in these vineyards, and thus winemaking began. In 1980, Henri Miquel released his first vintage. Currently, Laurent Miquel is the owner of this renowned estate and is considered one of the best young winemakers in the South of France. The vineyards are located in the commune of Cessenon in the southern part of the Saint-Chinian region at an altitude of one hundred to two hundred meters. The soil is clay-limestone, and the vineyard covers eight hectares. The name Vendanges Nocturnes means \"night harvest.\" The wine is made in a modern way, with temperature controls to preserve the fruit as much as possible.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe vinification and flavours of Vendanges Nocturnes Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Laurent Miquel makes his Vendanges Nocturnes Classic Rouge from sixty percent Merlot grapes, which are then supplemented with fifteen percent Syrah, fifteen percent Grenache, and ten percent Carignan.

His father's winery, Molitor, managed only about one hectare of vineyards at the time and was a sideline—his main activity was trading in truly great French wines. From this historical connection, Markus Molitor developed an early interest in other grape varieties. He quickly set his sights on a small portfolio of red wines and planted his first Pinot Noir vines in the late 1980s.\n\n\n \nMarkus Molitor's vineyards are spread across no fewer than 15 vineyards. The largest and most important is the Klosterberg vineyard, located directly behind the winery. Markus Molitor also calls the wines from this vineyard Haus Klosterberg, as he considers them the winery's house wines (without the negative connotations). The Pinot Noir planted here thrives. Due to its location in the Vosges and other mountain ranges, the climate here is slightly warmer and more favorable than in other regions.

Carmen is the oldest winery in Chile. Today, they utilize the latest winemaking techniques and are one of the largest players in both quality and quantity of Chilean origin. All grapes come from their own vineyards, prioritizing quality over quantity. To achieve this, Carmen Vineyards has restricted yields. This results in wines that are more powerful and full-bodied than many Chilean wines. Moreover, the wines truly taste like the grapes they are made from; they are uniquely authentic. Anyone who tastes them will be immediately impressed by the vast potential of this promising wine country.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest and taste of Carmen Insigne Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nNormally, Cabernet Sauvignon quickly develops acidity and hardness, but this Carmen Insigne variant is fruity and smooth, yet retains the characteristic Cabernet Sauvignon character. A wine with character, indeed. To achieve this result, the grapes are harvested when they are perfectly ripe, but not overripe. Harvesting is manual to prevent any damage to the grapes, which would otherwise compromise the fruit. Because the grapes are perfectly healthy, they are allowed to undergo up to eight days of cold maceration on the skins. The temperature during this process is around five degrees Celsius. This gives this red wine its delicious fruit, without absorbing the hardness from the skins and seeds. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, after which forty percent of the wine is aged in oak barrels from France and America. This beautifully rounds it out into a smooth and soft Cabernet. The Cabernet Sauvignon is immediately noticeable on the nose, with aromas of cherries and berries, a touch of mint, and warm spices. In terms of taste, this Carmen Insigne Cabernet Sauvignon is very complete, ripe and round with thick flavours of black fruit, herbs and a little pepper.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775753556047,"sku":"4226","price":8.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/carmen-cabernet-sauvignon_4226.webp?v=1770046187"},{"product_id":"carmen-insigne-merlot","title":"Carmen Insigne Merlot","description":"Anyone who thinks Merlot wines are always ripe and light is mistaken with this Carmen Insigne Merlot. This wine is incredibly full-bodied and powerful, yet softly flavored. The hard work of Carmen's winemakers is rewarded with a Merlot of perfect quality.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The birth of the Carmen winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Christian Lanz founded the Carmen winery in 1850, naming it after his beloved wife, Carmen. In the early years, it led a relatively unassuming existence. This changed when it was acquired by the Claro family. Significant investments were made, resulting in the creation of one of Chile's most modern wineries. Built at the foot of the Andes, the new cellars were constructed so that all wine movement occurred solely by gravity. This allowed the winery to avoid the use of pumps, a method that could damage the wine and reduce its quality.\n\n\n \nMerlot has long been a popular wine, and Carmen has worked hard to bring a perfect Merlot to market. Especially in this case, the fruit is crucial for giving the wine character, and the fruit is therefore the essence of this Merlot. The grapes for this powerful red wine are harvested by hand and undergo a cold maceration at two degrees Celsius for six days. This gives the wine abundant color and beautiful fruit notes. This method can only be used if the grapes are perfectly ripe and healthy. And that's precisely the case in Carmen's vineyards. Fermentation at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius brings out the fruit in the wine even more. Thirty percent of the wine is aged for six months in French and American oak barrels. This gives this Insigne Merlot an almost unobtrusive vanilla note. It is a delicious Merlot, very intense and convincing in character.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Carmen Insigne Merlot smell and taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOn the nose, we discovered aromas of chocolate and pepper, ripe plum fruit, and a hint of coffee, cinnamon, and black olives in this Chilean.

He named the winery after his beloved wife, Carmen. Today, it is the oldest of the bodegas still active in Chilean winemaking. Initially, the company operated in the background, but truly began to grow after being acquired by the Claro family. They were able to invest heavily and now utilize state-of-the-art facilities.\n\n\n \nIn recent years, Carmenère has become Chile's national grape. In 1994, the grape variety was rediscovered in the Carmenère vineyards. It was initially mistaken for Merlot, as it was long thought to be extinct due to phylloxera. However, it soon became clear that this unique grape was indeed planted in Carmenère's Alta Maipo Valley vineyards. This grape produces wines with a unique character. As with the other wines in the Insigne series, a cold maceration is applied at four to five degrees Celsius. Fermentation on the skins also takes place at a relatively low temperature, around 25 degrees Celsius. This preserves Carmenère's fine fruit. Subsequently, some of the wine is aged in used oak barrels.

Carmen is the oldest winery in Chile. Today, they utilize the latest winemaking techniques and are one of the largest players in both quality and quantity of Chilean origin. All grapes come from their own vineyards, prioritizing quality over quantity. To achieve this, Carmen Vineyards has restricted yields. This results in wines that are more powerful and full-bodied than many Chilean wines. Moreover, the wines truly taste like the grapes they are made from; they are uniquely authentic. Anyone who tastes them will be immediately impressed by the vast potential of this promising wine country.\n\n\n \nThe Cabernet grapes are grown in the Colchagua Valley, in a temperate climate on beautiful soil rich in river clay and pebbles. The grapes undergo a cold maceration of no less than ten days, giving this red wine extra fruit and color. Because the grapes are perfectly ripe, a five-week fermentation was possible, giving it considerable power and intensity. Eighty percent of the wine is aged for ten months in French and American oak barrels. The remainder remains in stainless steel.

Thanks to years of experience, Claro was able to invest wisely and develop Carmen into a modern winery. In 1990, the young winemaker Alvaro Espinoza joined them. He emphasized the quality of the grapes. Carmen has its own vineyards, allowing it to maintain strict control over the grapes.

Merlot grapes often develop a roughness and harshness when planted in overly warm vineyards, but the Merlot ripens perfectly in this Valley. By using grapes from different terroirs, the wine gains complexity and depth. For a week, the grapes macerate on the skins at a temperature of four degrees Celsius. This gives the wine a powerful and intense fruit character. Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 25 degrees Celsius preserves the fruit in the wine perfectly. Finally, eighty percent of the wine is aged for nine months in French and American oak barrels. The remaining twenty percent sees only stainless steel.

The old vineyards are situated at an altitude of between 450 and 750 meters above sea level. The climate here is perfect for the Nero d'Avola grape: plenty of sunshine, but especially plenty of cool wind and, of course, nighttime temperatures. The difference between day and night temperatures is significant. This significant difference ensures that the grapes can ripen evenly and slowly.

Upon arrival, the grapes are pressed and then aged for 10 to 12 months in oak barrels in the Tasca cellars. During this period, the wine develops strength and suppleness, making it truly special.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does the Tasca Lamur Nero d'Avola taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The aroma reveals plenty of warmth, with lovely aromas of sweet cherries and a hint of jam.

The wines are fermented exclusively with natural yeasts. Filtration is completely omitted to preserve the typical aromas of the region. The grapes are harvested by hand and placed unharmed in large, open tanks to ferment with natural yeasts. There are no pumps or wine presses in the red wine cellar, so the wine ferments naturally and traditionally for about 15 days, and the must is pumped around twice a day by hand.
