Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Dark, deep red in color, Terrunyo Carmenere has complex and elegant aromas of ripe red berries, plum, spice and a hint of tobacco. Powerful and concentrated fruit flavors reappear on the palate caressed in sweet tannins. Full in the mouth with great structure and a lingering finish.

Enjoy the distinctive taste of Terrunyo Carmenere with tomato-based pasta, game, duck, red meat and robust cheese.

Professional Ratings

    Hoping to show the carmenère fruit from a cool vintage with precision, Ignacio Recabarren aged Lot No. 1 for six months in oak, rather than the 13 months for the regular Terrunyo Block 27 (recommended below). It’s filled with spicy red fruit, without any of the overt vegetal notes that carmenère can give; the tannins create plenty of grip without being aggressive. This is harmoniously balanced, great for meat empanadas.

    A rich and well-sculpted red, bursting with fresh avors of dark plum, cherry tart and dried blackberry. Asian spice notes ll in midpalate. e complex nish balances savory and dark chocolate notes.

    There is also a 'regular' 2013 Terrunyo Carménère that is sourced from a 20-hectare plot in their Peumo vineyard, which was influenced by the Lot 1. They used less new barrels and reduced the time the wine spent in oak, so it follows the same path of freshness with red fruit and zero pyrazines; it's full of red cherries and reveals a juicy palate with very fine tannins and a silky texture. This has nothing to do with the Carménère of yesteryear. This is really pleasurable. 86,600 bottles produced.

Inspired by a drive to highlight Chile’s most celebrated terroirs in a collection of varietal wines whose quality and finesse echo that of the world’s finest wines, Terrunyo wines are crafted with a philosophy of terroir in mind. Named for terruño, the Spanish word for terroir, each Terrunyo wine begins with hand-harvested fruit. A micro-climate, the chosen grape stock, a select piece of soil and an expert hand interact, creating perfect harmony and delivering unrivaled quality.

Dark, full-bodied and herbaceous with a spicy kick, Carménère found great success with its move to Chile in the mid-19th century. However, the variety went a bit undercover until 1994 when many plantings previously thought to be Merlot, were profiled as Carménère. Somm Secret— Carménère is both a progeny and a great-grandchild of the similarly flavored Cabernet Franc.

With an outstanding reputation for its bold reds, especially Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carmenere, the Cachapoal Valley spreads through the northern part of Chile’s Rapel Valley, with a continuous backdrop of the majestic Andes to its east. This region reaches as far north as the southern outskirts of the city of Santiago where it meets the famous region of the Maipo. The Cachapoal Valley produces no shortage of plum and berry dominated full-bodied reds with aromas and flavors reminiscent of mint, cocoa, spice or smoked meat.
