Carménère is a closely related Merlot grape species almost exclusively grown in Chile. The color of the wine is deep ruby red. The ‘nose’ is complex but in perfect harmony with aromas of chocolate, plums, herbs, black pepper and toffee. Well rounded and flavorsome with powerful tannins and a perfect balance between fruit and wood tones obtained by maturation in French oak.
Family owned vineyard located in the heart of Colchagua, a protected valley southeast of Lago Rapel and adjoining the Apalta. Caliterra was born after the concept of "quality of the land," where CALI refers to "calidad" (quality) and TERRA to Chile's "tierra" (land). Caliterra represents a new generation of Chilean wineries in which innovative New World techniques merge with Chile's distinctive fruit and best traditions.
