Ventisquero Root 1 2017 Carmenere 750ml

Carmenere, once called the lost grape of Bordeaux, was wiped out in Europe for years before plantings were discovered in Chile as recently as 1994. These pure, ungrafted, and phylloxera-free rootstock in Colchagua Valley produce grapes of excellent quality and high varietal typicity. On the nose, ripe aromas of blackberry and baking spice. The palate is fruit-forward with plum, cherry, and a hint of smoke. Pair with chilli, stew, roasted eggplant, and rich cheeses.
