It adapted so well to the soils and sunny climate that was often called the ''Chilean Merlot''. Our Arboleda Carmenere captures this grape variety's finest attributes with its intense colour and deep, spicy fruit character. Its aroma is highly complex, with unique notes of sweet spices, fig jam and tobacco intermingling with vibrant layers of rich, ripe berries. On the palate the wine has a full, round mouth feel, with rich and complex flavours and round, soft tannins, culminating in a long, lingering finish.The Arboleda range is made to complement food. This wine is perfect with grilled meat. The hand-harvested Carmenere grapes are quickly transported to the winery and carefully emptied into belt conveyors to avoid damaging the grapes. After destemming and lightly crushing the fruit, we gave the must a cold maceration of two to three days for gentle extraction of colour and flavour. We then began fermentation at 28ºC with selected yeasts, pumping the wine over the cap of skins twice a day to extract flavours. To develop varietal complexity and naturally soften tannins, we gave the wine 40 days of extended maceration. This wine aged in French and American oak barrels for eleven months to weave spicy oak nuances through the rich fruit flavours.

Born of rain in Bergen, Norway, he could not resist the attraction of the austral sun in this Virgilian setting. Serendipity would later show that he had found land in Chile's premium red wine producing valley, where vitis vinifera has been cultivated since the 17th century. Here a soothing coastal breeze produces a microclimate conducive to distinct and beautiful wines on the 85 hectares planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. This hand harvested Carmenere has a little Merlot and is part aged in oak to produce an intense red violet coloured wine. On the nose, there are intense aromas of plums and blueberries together with chocolate and vanilla flavors. Later come forth scents of pepper and sweet pepper which is characteristic of Carmenere.
