Tasting Notes

The Carmenere reveals an elegant and dynamic expression, showcasing the finesse it achieves in the unique terroir of Millahue. Rounded tannins fill the mid-palate, creating a sense of volume while highlighting multiple layers of flavour.

The Cabernet Sauvignon contributes firm structure and depth, leading to a long and expressive finish. The Cabernet Franc adds tension and minerality, with refined graphite notes on the palate.

On the nose, the wine shows black fruit, including blackberries and prunes, together with spice, especially black pepper, and the characteristic forest-floor aromas of Carmenere, harmonising with its mineral notes.
