35° SOUTH RESERVA CARMENERE 2008
Our Carmenere is made with grapes steming from two of the best possible valleys for this variety, given their temperature and soil conditions. The harvest time is determined by the point of highest fruit’s concentration and best tannins performance. This is a ripe wine, in which the wood’s aim is to deliver toasted notes and softness to the palate.
