Carménère is Chile’s identity variety, rediscovered in 1994 after decades of confusion with Merlot. In the Valle del Maipo — the cradle of Chilean viticulture — alluvial soils and Andean influences produce Carménère of remarkable elegance and complexity. The colour is deep, brilliant purple garnet.
