Carta Vieja Estate Carmenere is a dry red wine from Chile's Central Valley, bottled at 13.5% alcohol under a screw cap.
Carta Vieja is made by Viña del Pedregal, a family winery in the Maule Valley. Carmenere came to Chile from Bordeaux in the 1800s and was long mistaken for Merlot; today it is Chile's signature red grape.
It is deep ruby with violet tones and aromas of blackberry, black plum and cassis with a touch of black pepper. The palate is silky and spicy with notes of chocolate and toffee and a smooth, persistent finish.
If you enjoy Merlot or Malbec, Carmenere is an easy next step, with a little more spice.
Serve it slightly cool, around 61 to 64°F, with stews, grilled red meats, seasoned dishes or grilled vegetables.
