Carménère is a representative wine of this emblematic variety of Chile, aromatically dominated by red and black fruits and spices. On the palate the silkiness of its tannins and depth make it very easy to drink and at the same time very versatile to pair a great diversity of foods.

Grapes harvested in May are destemmed and crushed, alcoholic fermentation (yeasts) begins at temperatures between 25 to 28 ° C (80 ° F) with open pumpovers. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wines are racked and the skins are pressed.

Founded in 1850, Viña Carmen pioneered Chilean winemaking and rediscovered Carménère, blending innovation, origin and excellence. Carmen DO begins with a simple idea, with a dream of strengthening ties with special, unique producers in different parts of Chile. Working side-by-side, we have created a different wine that uses manual production in its aim to transmit the history of a lifetime tied to the vineyard. And this lets us bring Chile’s valleys and its people to light.
