Gran Reserva Blend Series #4
D.O.: Valle del Maipo
74% Carmenere, 25% Syrah
Gran Reserva Tarapacá "Blend Series #4" is a limited production wine. First, the “Los Cardenales” soil series (Syrah) is characterized by the presence of clay and a rocky
matrix that gives the wines good body and velvety tannins. Secondly, “Mansel” soil series. With granitic geology and in-situ geomorphology. The texture ranges from sandy clay loam to clay loam. As the soil contains some red clay, it lends the wine medium body, good fruit concentration and ripe tannins.
Intense, clean, concentrated, crisp, complex and fruity. Upfront spicy and herbal notes like black pepper and dill that are typical of Carmenère from the Maipo Valley make the nose very fresh. The Syrah contributes aromas of black fruit like blackberries. There are notes of vanilla, toasted almonds and cinnamon which are contributed by the ageing in French oak.
Serve at: 16-18°C
