Winemaker Notes
El Maiten estate is located in the boundary of the Carménère production area. The climatic conditions in this part of the Maule valley allow a slow maturation process, enabling to reach the phenolic maturation without losing the wonderful exotic spiciness of the Carménère. Its color is intense, the nose full of black fruits such as mulberry and blackberry intertwined with sweet spicy notes. The richness of its mouth-feel comes from soft and ripe tannins added to fruit flavors together with black pepper and earthy notes. This exotic complexity culminates in a soft touch of oak and walnut notes.
