During the early 19th century Carmenère was one of the most widely cultivated grape varieties in the Médoc and Graves regions of Bordeaux. However its susceptibility to the twin evils of phylloxera and oidium led to growers uprooting it and replacing it with more reliable and better yielding grape varieties such as Merlot.
It was introduced in Chile (where it is also known as Grand Vidure) more than 150 years ago where it thrived largely due to Chile never having had phylloxera as most of its vines are planted on native rootstock.
With aromas of ripe plums, spices and hints of chocolate and vanilla.
Aged in American oak barrels.
To accompany pastas, casseroles and roast meat.
