WINE DESCRIPTION
he CA2 Costa vineyards are situated in a region influenced by the cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean, which moderate the climate and contribute to a slower, more even ripening of the grapes. This microclimate ensures the development of complex flavors and maintains the natural acidity of the Carmenère, resulting in a wine that is both intense and balanced. TerraNoble's commitment to showcasing the varietal's character is evident in their minimal intervention approach, allowing the natural qualities of the Carmenère to shine through.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The nose is treated to an array of aromas including ripe blackberries, plums, and a distinctive note of black pepper, a hallmark of the Carmenère grape.Additionally, subtle hints of dark chocolate and a touch of smoky oak add complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, yet remarkably smooth. Flavors of dark fruit are perfectly complemented by nuances of spice, coffee, and a hint of vanilla from the oak aging. The coastal influence is evident in the wine's refreshing acidity and elegant minerality, which provide a counterbalance to its lush fruitiness and lead to a long, satisfying finish.
