Caliterra, Pétreo Carmenère, 6x75cl

🍷 Caliterra – Pétreo Carménère
Chile | Colchagua Valley | 100% Carménère
Style: Still Red Wine | Winemaking: Hand-harvested from high-altitude sites in the Colchagua Valley, fermented in stainless steel with gentle extraction, and aged in French oak barrels to integrate tannins, develop complexity, and preserve varietal character
Farming: From hillside vineyards with granitic and colluvial soils, where cool breezes and long ripening seasons allow Carménère to achieve full maturity with balanced acidity and rich aromatics

🌋 A bold, high-altitude Carménère—spicy, structured, and full of personality.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with violet flashes—dark and intense.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and brooding. Notes of ripe black plum, blackberry, and cherry are layered with cracked pepper, roasted red pepper, tobacco leaf, and a touch of dark chocolate and earth.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and expressive. Juicy dark fruit is framed by firm yet polished tannins, with undertones of spice, smoke, and dried herbs. The texture is plush, the acidity fresh, and the finish long and savoury.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled steaks, spicy sausages, roasted vegetables, or smoky barbecue dishes. A great match for bold, flavourful meals.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now with a short decant, and capable of ageing for 6–8 years, developing added depth and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Caliterra Pétreo Carménère is a standout expression of Chile’s signature grape—earthy, vibrant, and deeply satisfying. A wine that brings structure and soul to the table.
