Rich, layered, and expressive, the Aconcagua Alto Carmenère 2020 is a testament to the strength and elegance of Chile’s coastal terroir. Sourced from hand-selected plots of the Max vineyards in Aconcagua Costa, this bold red bursts with character: notes of black cherries, roasted red pepper, black olives, and a whisper of cigar box all dance across the nose.
On the palate, silky tannins support layers of red and black fruit, tobacco leaf, bitter chocolate, and warming spices like cloves. Despite the heat of the vintage, a bright line of acidity lifts the wine, delivering balance and freshness through to a long, savoury finish.
Aged for 14 months in French oak (30% new), this Carmenère (with a touch of Petit Verdot) is bold yet nuanced—perfect for those who love full-bodied reds with structure and soul.
 
Food Pairing:
Best enjoyed with spicy pork and bean casseroles, lamb tagines, roasted game, or grilled aubergines with mole sauce.
