"The nose it is exuberant, combining black and red fruits that compliment the black pepper, sweet green pepper and slightly toasted notes. It presents a rich structure, very well accompanied by its fruity and spicy flavour, creating an intense persistence within the mouth."

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Alta Cima Winery

Klaus Schröder is a fascinating and truly incredible individual. After studying oenology and vineyard management in Geisenheim, Germany, he set out to Chile in the mid-1960s to work in the, then, just establishing wine industry. For the first 30 years, he worked in three of the most well respected wineries across Chile but he then went on to create his own venture and thus AltaCima was born.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Carmenere

Carmenere is the red grape of Chile where it makes up nearly 10% of all of the country's vineyard. While it is not the most planted it is Chile's own little baby and produces some of the best wines of the country. That said it historically comes from France and it was brought over to Chile where people long thought it to be Merlot until the mid-twentieth century.

--------THE REGION--------

Chile

Chile is best known for its savoury and spicy reds made from Carmenere, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon yet it is moving in an exciting direction of late with its crisp Semillons, Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs.
