Cremaschi Furlotti Carmenere
Chile
Terroir
The winery is in San Javier de Loncomilla, surrounded by two rivers and the Andes mountain range. Their Peñasco vineyard has poor granite soil that’s perfect for white wines as it preserves acidity and red wines as it creates fresher and lighter wines with vibrant acidity. The wines have high antioxidant levels due to a major temperature variation of up to 20°C/30°F.
Tasting note
The Carménère Reserva reveals a deep garnet hue and entices with an inviting bouquet of blackberries, plums, and a subtle touch of green pepper and spices. The palate offers a medium to full-bodied texture, showcasing flavors of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and hints of cocoa. Its velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity lead to a smooth, lingering finish.
