Carmenere
Filter
The Carmenere grape was initially planted in Bordeaux, France and was used to create dark red wines. Carmenere is a cousin to the Cabernet variety and its name originates from the French word meaning crimson, which describes the vibrant colors of the variety’s leaves in the autumn. The grape is one of the oldest varieties in Eurpoe, and is thought to be a copy of Cabernet Sauvignon. This variety joins a list of six red wine grapes that originally come from the region of Bordeaux, France. Carmenere cannot be easily found today in France, and is now grown mainly in Chile. The region in Chile where Carmenere is planted boasts of almost 9,000 acres and makes Chile the largest producer of Carmenere wines. Cuttings of the variety were brought to Chile from Bordeaux in the 19th century and were often confused with Merlot. Although the variety is similar to Merlot, growers have managed to maintain the variety in Chile and continue to see the variety thriving. Carmenere is also grown in Italy, California and parts of the United States. This deep colored red wine has the aromas of red fruits, berries and light tannins. Carmenere is used mostly for blending and is perfect to drink when young.

After carefully determining the moment for the harvest, the grapes are harvested by hand and later de-stemmed and marinated in cold temperatures for 5-6 days. Alcoholic fermentation is between 26ºC and 29ºC during which daily reassembly is implemented according to taste. Post-fermentation infusion lasts for two or three weeks. Once the blend is made, the wine is gently clarified and stabilized in cool temperatures if necessary.

Once the wine has fermented it is smoothly clarified and cold stabilisation occurs when necessary.
