WINE DESCRIPTION

Viña Carmen, Chile's inaugural winery since 1850, epitomizes innovation with over 168 years of relentless pursuit. Their reinvented classics, like the Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Frida Kahlo Limited Edition, pay homage to tradition while embracing modernity. Handpicked from Alto Maipo's finest terraces, the grapes undergo a meticulous process: cold maceration for 10 days, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in French oak barrels for 14 months. Viña Carmen's commitment to excellence, inspired by Frida Kahlo's legacy, ensures a wine that seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary flair.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Carmen Frida Kahlo Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and expressive red wine.The wine exhibits a deep ruby color, indicating its youth and vibrancy. On the nose, this wine offers intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, accompanied by hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla. These complex aromas create an inviting and intriguing bouquet. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The flavors of ripe black fruits dominate, with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum taking center stage. There is a pleasant balance between fruitiness and earthiness, with subtle hints of tobacco, dark chocolate, and spices adding depth and complexity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruits and a touch of oak. This wine has great aging potential, allowing the flavors to further develop and integrate over time.
