BACKGROUND INFORMATION Chilean culture with its heritage, myriad crafts and vibrant colours is reflected in this Chileno wine. Chileno is a joint venture between PLB and Viña Ventisquero, with vineyards based in five of Chile's top sites (12 x 75 cl)
This wine was carefully made to reflect the full character of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, full-bodied and bursting with rich, ripe fruit and soft sweet tannins. This is achieved by carefully selecting and managing the vineyards for perfect fruit ripening. New micro-oxygenation techniques also allow us to integrate the sweet flavours of oak for greater complexity without allowing the wood to dominate the wine. (12 x 75 cl)
The Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé displays an intense and lovely young colour. The freshness is particularly evident on the nose with aromas of strawberry, ripe raspberry and red cherries. It is a well balanced and palate-filling wine with a soft, gentle and round texture. The bouquet of bright fruit flavours rounds out in a long, persistent finish. (6 x 75 cl)
Carmen's best selling varietal and you can see why. Beautifully balanced fruit and tannins enhance this great wine from Chile's Central Valley. (24 x 37.5 cl)
