Concha y Toro Carmín de Peumo Carmenère is a premium red wine produced by Concha y Toro, one of the most renowned wineries in Chile. This wine comes from the Peumo vineyard, located in the Cachapoal Valley appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Carmenère grapes. The vineyard features steep slopes, alluvial soils, and a Mediterranean climate, which contribute to the wine's exceptional quality and complexity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, rich, and elegant expression of Carmenère, with notes of black fruit, spices, and a long, smooth finish.
