WINE DESCRIPTION
Tarapacá Gran Reserva Carmenère is a premium red wine produced by Viña Tarapacá Ex Zavala, located in the Maipo Valley, Chile. The wine is made entirely from the Carmenère grape, which is known for its rich, fruity, and spicy character. The grapes are hand-picked from the best vines of the estate's old vineyards and carefully fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months to add complexity and depth to the flavor. It has intense aromas of blackberries, plums, and spices, with a full-bodied palate of ripe fruit, chocolate, and vanilla. The wine is well-balanced with smooth tannins and a long, elegant finish, making it an excellent pairing for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews.
