NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Araucano Alka Carmenere is a bold, earthy, and intense red wine.Dark berry and plummy aromas mingle with earthy notes of leather and tobacco, while a smoky touch of spice adds complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with chewy tannins and a long, savory finish. Enjoy its unique character with grilled meats or hard cheeses.
