Originally from Bordeaux, Carménère now thrives as Chile's signature grape, distinguished by its late ripening in Chile’s warm climates. This grape produces deep red wines noted for their earthy, herbaceous qualities, with flavors of green pepper, berries, and a hint of spice. Medium-bodied with moderate tannins, Carménère offers a smooth texture and distinct notes of paprika. Its success in various Chilean soils has led to diverse styles, from fruit-forward to structured, oak-aged versions, making it a standout in the wine world.
