    2018 Lafken Maipo Alto Carmenere (Central Valley, CL) 5R

    The classic varietal 2018 Carmenere was crafted using grapes sourced from a Maipo vineyard, showcasing excellent ripeness and a well-balanced interplay of acidity and freshness, resulting in a clean and harmonious expression. This wine boasts an abundance of peppery and spicy notes, complemented by savory, almost saline flavors. Its maturation in used barrels has seamlessly integrated the oak influence. A total of 10,800 bottles were filled in July 2020, ensuring the wine's accessibility to enthusiasts.

    About The Varietal

    Carmenere

    This dark-skinned grape variety originally comes from Bordeaux, but it has discovered an especially well-suited home in Chile. It gives rise to high-quality, richly colored red wines that combine the appealing, full-bodied qualities of Merlot with the subtle herbaceous and cedar-like characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon.
