Carmenere 2024

Casa Patronales Carmenere is produced in Chile, a country renowned for its ideal climate and terroir for cultivating the Carmenere grape variety. The wine reflects the unique characteristics of Chilean vineyards, particularly those in the Central Valley region.

The wine is made exclusively from the Carmenere grape, a variety originally from Bordeaux, France, now famously associated with Chilean winemaking. Carmenere grapes are known for their deep color, soft tannins, and distinctive spicy and fruity aromas.

The production process involves careful hand-harvesting of the Carmenere grapes at optimal ripeness. The grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit characteristics. Aging is typically done in French or American oak barrels to enhance complexity and add subtle vanilla and spice notes.
