A beautiful Carmenère from Chile's largest organic producer.
Rich cherry fruit, hints of capsicum, clove and black pepper on the nose with a palate of smooth berry fruit, robust and full-bodied with ripe well-balanced tannins and a refreshing sappy flavour to the finish.
Emiliana is one of the world's most important producers of organic and biodynamic wines and the largest in South America. They have a total of 997 hectares under vine in the valleys of Casablanca, Maipo, Colchagua, and Cachapoal of which 923ha are IMO certified organic and the remaining 77 in conversion. Their spectacular biodynamic vineyard and winery at Los Robles is a model that attracts visiting viticulturalists and winemakers from all over the world.
climate of the Colchagua Valley is Mediterranean. Summers are hot but with cool night temperatures. The soils here are alluvial with good drainage.
The grapes were hand picked in late April and underwent a week long pre fermentation cold treatment at 8ºC to extract more fruit character.
A great match for pasta dishes with spicy sauces, grilled red meats and chicken, or perhaps something dark, sticky and intensely garlicky from the Orient.
