Arboleda, Carmenere (2021) Chile

Arboleda Carménère is a fine and silky wine that year after year presents elegant tannins in perfect balance with its fresh acidity. Its classic black fruits and balsamic notes come from exceptional fruits of high concentration from Las Vertientes Vineyard, where they undergo a long, slow ripening process. This complex wine achieves its great structure, rounded character and depth during its ageing in French oak barrels. This bright garnet-red Carménère presents a pleasing aromatic expression. It opens elegantly to reveal its spicy character of black fruits with delicate notes of chocolate. The elegant palate is underscored by delicious acidity, silky tannins, good balance and great depth, with flavours that recall spices, red bell pepper and red fruits.
