Viña Tarapacá Gran Reserva Carménère The soils where the vineyard is located are of volcanic origin, alluvial-colluvial formation, and sand-loam to clay-loam in texture with gravel and plenty of depth. Gran Reserva Carménère is a blend sourced from the best Carménère blocks in Maipo Valley. It was aged in American and French oak barrels for 12 months. This wine has an expressive, complex, fresh aroma characterized by spicy notes such as clove and pepper, as well as subtle vegetal notes such as red pepper. These aromas are apparent since the vineyards are situated very close to the river, with its cool waters, and also due to the summer afternoons, whereby fresh breezes travel up through the valley from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes mountain range. This wine stands out for its unique red ruby color and black fruit aromas; in mouth it is well rounded and rich in flavors, where the figs notes and wild fruits, together with delicate spices aromas, are in perfect harmony. For this reason, on the palate the wine is round, smooth, full-bodied, and with ripe tannins. Black fruit aromas are present, such as blackcurrant, blackberry and plum. Flavorsome, balanced and with good persistence. 2015 : 92 JS, 90 WA | 2014 : 92 JS, 90 V
