Dense and deep purple, the T Carménère shows a great precision and elegance:
touches of bread crust, cedar, sweet spices and soft licorice. More
important however, the fruit is bright and fresh with cranberries,
blackberries, cherries and plums. The background is quite mineral,
displaying stony notes and brings depth to the typical notes of jammy red
peppers, dry tomatoes and pink pepper.
Carménère
VARIETY: Carmenere.
STYLE: Fresh, structured, elegant and complex.
TONS PER HECTARE: 6 tons/ha.
SOIL TYPE: Alluvial, rocky clay in T. South and sandy
loam in T. North. IRRIGATION TYPE:
Drip. HARVEST: Manual. Grapes are
carefully transported to the cellar in small containers.
BARREL AGING: We used only 225 lts French barrels:
Taransaud T5, Adour Grand Cru y Sylvain Grande Reserve, with medium and
light toasts, mainly Troncais y Centre forests. 40% new, 35% second use and
15% third use. 13 months total. CONCEPT: This variety is now well known to
be emblematic of Chileʼs viticulture. But, growing it in fresh climate
valley has been a challenge. Today, 6 years of experience allow us to offers
what we consider our best grape expression, taking Limari ́s carmenere to
another level. Gifted soils and vinification skills give birth to a fresh,
elegant and deep wine where balance and precision rule above obvious
exuberance. Wild berries and spices perfumes enhanced by a great and vibrant
structure, mineral strength overwhelmed by a silky structure... an iron hand
in a velvety glove. TASTING NOTES:
Dense and deep purple, the T Carménère shows a great precision and elegance:
touches of bread crust, cedar, sweet spices and soft licorice. More
important however, the fruit is bright and fresh with cranberries,
blackberries, cherries and plums. The background is quite mineral,
displaying stony notes and brings depth to the typical notes of jammy red
peppers, dry tomatoes and pink pepper. The mouth expresses at first a
velvety voluptuousness thanks to silky and totally integrated tannins. This
very designed frame structures a dense and juicy texture that carries all
the aromatic complexity. The finish faithfully goes on and on, bright and
lively, with ripe and spicy fruits, mineral notes and dried herbs. Winemaker: Jose Pablo Martin
