Gran Reserva Carmenere 2022

Produced in Chile, Viña Tarapacá sources grapes primarily from the Maipo Valley, a renowned wine region known for its ideal climate and terroir for red varietals.

This wine is made exclusively from the Carmenere grape variety, a signature varietal of Chile known for its deep color and rich flavor profile.

• Hand-harvested grapes to ensure optimal ripeness and quality.
• Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature to preserve varietal character.
• Aging in French and American oak barrels for approximately 12 months to develop complexity and smooth tannins.
• Bottled with minimal filtration to maintain natural flavors and structure.

The Gran Reserva Carmenere presents a deep ruby red color with aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of spices, tobacco, and vanilla derived from oak aging. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish featuring hints of dark chocolate and pepper.

• Grilled red meats such as beef or lamb
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Smoked or spicy sausages
• Mature cheeses like aged cheddar or gouda
• Dark chocolate desserts
