Reserve

2005 Valle Rapel Carménère

The Chilcas Reserve is a stunning expression of Carménère from the picturesque Valle Rapel region, capturing the essence of its terroir with its deep, enchanting red hue. This wine boasts a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate, harmoniously balanced by high acidity that invigorates each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing ripe blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of spicy oak, creating a captivating depth. Tannins are notably firm, providing structure and longevity, while the wine is intriguingly dry, allowing the fruit characteristics to shine through without overwhelming sweetness. This 2005 vintage is an exceptional choice for those who appreciate the unique qualities of Carménère and the rich heritage of Chilean winemaking.
