2010 Colchagua Valley Carmenere

The Apaltagua Envero, a captivating Carmenere from the esteemed Colchagua Valley, is a remarkable expression of this varietal.

This full-bodied wine demonstrates a high level of acidity, creating a delightful balance that invigorates the palate. The tannins are firm yet smooth, providing structure and depth, while the fruit intensity is pronounced, leaving a lasting impression. As a dry wine, it beautifully showcases the rich terroir of Colchagua, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. This vintage not only captures the essence of its region but also reflects the careful craftsmanship that goes into its production, resulting in a wine that is both sophisticated and approachable.

Colchagua Valley

Dubbed "Chile's red wine paradise" by Vogue magazine, Colchagua Valley is undoubtedly one of South America's finest wine regions. Indeed, many of Chile's best reds come from this dry, ocean breeze-cooled section of the Central Valley. Expect inky-dark reds made from Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. These wines burst with flavors of ripe berries and earthy tobacco, with a nice acidic balance thanks to the valley's cool nights. Don't underestimate the white wines, either, as Colchuaga's breezy coast is home to some memorable Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
