TASTING NOTES :
Garnet red with violet gleams.
Combines intense aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries, with hints of red bell peppers, dried fruit and spices. Smooth and full-bodied, it has a round and delicate mouthful due to its oak-ageing. An extremely rich and velvety wine from this Chile’s signature grape variety.
PAIRING :
Pairs well with spicy, flavorsome foods, including curry, Mexican or rich Chinese food. Can match very well with chilies. Also drinks well with roast dark meats such as beef, or spicy seared tuna.
