Carmenere, Microterroir de Los Lingues, 2020, Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva

Colchagua Valley is Chile’s premier Carmenere region. The Silva family have been pioneers of many award winning Carmeneres from their Los Lingues estate. Lying at the foot of the Andes, this vineyard was selected for Chile’s first ever Microterroir project-a historic moment for Chilean viticulture. Just a few small parcels from the project went into producing this limited edition Carmenere. It is a wine which tells the story of the family’s constant search for genuine quality, at the highest level.

Intense ruby red with violet hues. On the nose, delicate aromas of red and black fruits with hints of coffee. On the palate, harmonious, with very good structure, soft tannins and notes of ripe red fruits, spices and a soft touch of black pepper. Long, lingering finish.

100% in French oak barrels for 12 months (depending on degustation of the panel of enologists). A surprisingly diverse variety which will accompany a broad range of dishes.

This It goes perfectly with roast lamb with rosemary, juicy filled steak, stuffed chicken, pork ribs or any kind of barbecued meat. Ideal for Indian or Spanish food.
