Brilliant yellow in colour, vanilla notes on the nose with citric fruit. Full bodied on the palate with a well structured and a long finish. (12 x 75 cl)
This wine has a purple red colour. On the nose there's mocha, vanilla and red ripe fruit. In the mouth it is soft, gentle and persistent, with a touch of pepper, spice and oodles of lush fruit, all wrapped up in some soft tannins. (12 x 75 cl)
Deep and intense red ruby colour. Cherry, bramble, black pepper and herby aromas dominate the nose. In the mouth, silky and velvety tannins with approachable fruit combine to make an elegant Syrah from a cold climate region. (12 x 75 cl)
A native Chilean, Agustin Huneeus joined Napa Valley based Franciscan Estates in 1985 as President and CEO, bringing with him international wine experience from Chile and the United States. In 1990, after discovering promising potential vineyard property in the Casablanca Valley, Agustin Huneeus realized his dream of returning to Chile to found Veramonte. Veramonte's Casablanca Valley is surrounded by coastal mountain ranges creating a diversity of unique microclimates and terroirs. Its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides ideal growing and ripening conditions for Chardonnay. The valley floor provides a cool Carneros-like climate, while the terraced hillside blocks have warmer temperatures, similar to the northern Napa Valley. This 'super-premium' wine uses Carmenere as the base together with some Cabernet Sauvignon. Using premium quality fruit from the Alto de Casablanca estate, the young wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Definitely a 'terroir' wine, Primus is a limited production wine that showcases the rare Carmenère variety, a grape once prevalent in Bordeaux in the 1800's when Chile first began importing vines from France. The finished wine has superb concentration with mouthfilling flavours of blackberry and cherries mingling with the spicy oak. (6 x 75 cl)
Attractive, brilliant yellow colour with green tones. Complex, aromatic and clean nose, with fine tropical fruit, pineapple and peach aromas. Fresh, fruity and tasty on the palate. This wine has well-balanced acidity, a pleasant finish with discreet toasty notes. A very seductive wine, expressing in its own style the typicality of our Casablanca terroir. (12 x 75 cl)
