Carmen Shiraz(2003)

85 % Syrah 15 % Cabernet Sauvignon

The grapes come from estate vineyards in the Maipo Valley. Some vines grow in flat plots, with a medium textured soil, and others are located in slopes in the foot hills of the Andes Range with a stony soil. Normally we have very sunny days (26º - 28ºC) and cool nights (8º - 10º C) during the ripening period, accompanied by very low humidity and free of rainfall, allowing the grapes to grow and ripen very healthy. The grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected prior the crushing. Afterwards the fruit was crushed and stayed in a cold skin contact read more...

A deep violet color, with intense aromas of red fruits, some menthol and spicy complexity. In the palate the wine shows great structure, with firm tannins, fruity flavors with a rich complexity and delightful persistence. Wine and Food: Serve with boar, duck, goose, lamb, venison in spicy sauce, couscous, cheeses: Gouda, and Gruyere.
