Edouardo Chadwick ARBOLEDA Carmenere Aconcagua Valley Chile Description: Carmenere has expressed great affinity to the Chilean terroir. 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. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £64.72

Edouardo Chadwick ARBOLEDA Shiraz Aconcagua Valley Chile Description: Our Arboleda Syrah has a dark deep violet-red colour. Blackberry and tart cherry aromas are beautifully set off by spicy notes and vanilla. The wine is dense and fills the palate and shows a good structure with a velvety texture and round tannins. Black plums and milk chocolate linger in a very long finish. The Arboleda range is made to compliment food. This wine would be delicious with game, steak or full flavoured vegetarian dishes. The fruit was received at the winery as carefully as possible to avoid crushing or bruising. The grapes were given two to three days of cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance colour and flavour extraction. The must was then inoculated with selected yeasts and fermented at 28ºC, with four daily pumpovers. Post-fermentation maceration lasted 20 to 43 days, depending on the development of the individual lots, to achieve the fullest extraction and body. The wine was then drawn off the skins and seeds, and the free-run wine was separated from the press wine. Every component of the blend was aged for fourteen months in 50% French and 50% American oak barrels. Cabernet Sauvignon was included in the blend to add more complexity to the wine. The wine received only a light filtration at bottling to ensure quality during ageing (6 x 75 cl) Price: £64.72
