La Piqueta – Carmenere

Bright and intense with aromas of ripe red fruits and black pepper. Medium-bodied with a smooth, well-balanced finish, softened by ripe tannins.

This is the ideal companion for game stews and medium to high intensity cured cheeses. It enhances the complexity of their flavours.

The Colchagua Valley is located in the Central Valley region, nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The area enjoys a Mediterranean climate with maritime influences, characterised by hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. This climate, together with the stony, alluvial soil, provides ideal conditions for vineyards.

To ensure the highest quality and freshness of our fruit, we meticulously plan the harvest schedule. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and cooled to 12°C for 24 hours to preserve their aromas. The fermentation process is carried out at a controlled temperature of 24-25°C, which allows the aromatic compounds and the characteristic colour of the variety to be extracted to the maximum. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with its fine lees for several months to acquire complexity and roundness, thus expressing its full fruit potential.
