Carmenère 2005 Reserva, a new wine in the family

In March of 2006 Torreón de Paredes will introduce its first Vintage ever of Carmenère. This interesting red grape, which is becoming Chile’s flagship grape, is grown at our estate in Rengo, located at the upper reaches of the Cachapoal Valley (Rapel Region).

This limited edition of 6,000 bottles is a blend of 90% Carmenère and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon which was aged for 6 months in new French oak barrels. The wine shows a deep ruby-red colour, with dark shades of violet. The nose evokes black ripe fruits, cherries, blackberries, cassis with black chocolate and vanilla notes from the oak aging. The palate is round, supple and complex with firm tannins that ensure its potential for aging gracefully in the bottle.
