Koyle Royale is a stunning example of Carmenere from Chile's renowned Colchagua Valley, showcasing the rich heritage of this varietal. This red wine delights the palate with a full-bodied profile, harmonizing well with its pronounced acidity that brings vibrancy and structure. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of spice and cocoa. Its tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a pleasing backbone that enhances the overall mouthfeel. The wine finishes with a lingering dryness that invites another sip, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty meals or enjoying on its own. The 2009 vintage stands out, reflecting the exceptional growing conditions of Colchagua Valley and the meticulous craftsmanship behind its creation.

In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
