Cornellana Schist/Colluvial Carmenere Case, 2019

Cornellana Rock-Soil Schist Carmenere Peumo
A savoury wine with pure green bean aromas, it is medium to full-bodied. The same green flavours are present on the palate which is supple initially developing grippy firm tannins. After some aeration, mellow blackcurrant and red fruits emerge. It will benefit from some time in bottle before reaching its optimum for drinking. Grapes were grown on slopes of ancient soils from the cretaceous period with high amounts of minerals. Classified geologically as volcanic sedimentary, the soils contain a high amount of fractured rocks.

Cornellana Deep-Soil Colluvial Carmenere Peumo
The palate is rich and concentrated with ripe fruit and supple tannins. It is youthful with fresh blackcurrant flavours and should mature nicely. Predominantly Carmenère with 5% Cabernet Franc. Carmenère was grown in the Peumo area on the colluvial soils of the coastal mountain range. Soils are deep and fertile with a combination of sand, clay and silt almost in equal parts. Vine roots can go deep to obtain water and nutrients to ensure full maturity and fine tannins.
