The grapes for this wine come from the De Martino family’s vineyard in Isla de Maipo. This area enjoys a mild climate with a coastal influence, and the vineyard itself sits on the rocky soils of an old tributary of the Maipo River. This is the perfect location for Carménère to thrive, so, in 1992, the vines were planted and it was these grapes that were used in 1996 for the very first single-varietal Carménère exported from Chile, making it an important part of Chilean wine culture and history. Today, these vines deliver stunning wine with purity and concentration. It pulses with black fruit, intense but delicate spice and some lovely tannins that are both soft and deliciously grippy.
