CARMENERE, Tolhuen Vineyard
Colchagua Valley

Carmenere Talhuen Vineyard is located in El Huique, in the heart of Colchagua Valley. The vines are planted uphill which creates great exposure to sunlight and optimum temperatures for ripening. The poor and rocky soil helps to achieve a balanced growth and a low yield production and therefore full flavoured and concentrated grapes.

The harvest is done late in April or even May, in order to obtain the right ripeness of the skins, but taking care of keeping the spiciness and the fresh black fruity character of the Carmenere.

The wine is aged in American and French oak barrels for 12 months before bottling.

Carmenere Talhuen Vineyard is a complex and elegant wine, with a classic nose that combines blackberries, black pepper, spices and a hint of leather. On the palate is wide and opulent, with sweet tannins and a bright acidity.
