Carménère

Carménère is a red wine grape variety originally from France’s Bordeaux region, but now famously associated with Chile. It produces wines with deep color, rich flavors of red and black fruits, and distinctive earthy, herbal notes like bell pepper and herbs. Carménère's moderate tannins and smooth texture make it approachable, while its layered profile offers complexity. The grape was nearly lost after a phylloxera outbreak but was rediscovered in Chile, where it thrives. Today, Carménère is celebrated for its unique character, blending fruitiness with a touch of spice and herbal freshness, making it a notable choice for red wine enthusiasts.
