This Sante Helena Varietal Carmenere is an intense wine. It's a blend of 95% Carmenere and 5% Syrah. Wine quality begins in the vineyard, and for this reason, our attention and energy are primarily focused on sustainable practices in all our agricultural processes. The Central Valley boasts optimal natural climate and soil conditions, ensuring perfect fertility for high-quality wine production, as reflected in this Carmenere, among other wines.
Accessible wines from Santa Helena
Santa Helena was founded in 1942 with exports in mind. And with exports now to over 50 countries across five continents, this goal has been quite successful. The wines are typically Chilean and all easy to drink. Over 75 years of tradition have earned many generations loyal to the brand for its excellent value. The Varietal series is a range of well-balanced, young wines that are remarkably expressive with notes of fresh fruit. They are tasty, easy to drink, and feature a wide variety of both white and red varietals. Santa Helena wines are produced by a superb team of winemakers dedicated to unlocking the qualitative potential of each vineyard. The grapes for this Carmenere are harvested mechanically. This is followed by rigorous selection and quality control. Only the very best grapes are chosen for the juice. Fermentation takes place on additional yeast strains. Before the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the skins are removed to allow the final fermentation without the skins, resulting in a smoother wine.The fruity notes of Santa Helena Varietal Carmenere
An intensely purple wine made from the well-established Carmenère grape. The wine combines dark blackberry and blackcurrant fruit with exciting aromas of spices (cinnamon), tobacco, and vanilla. Well-balanced with mild tannins and a silky finish.Product details
