Pura Fe Carmenere Maipo Valley Antiyal, 2019

Alvaro was previously Head Winemaker at Viña Carmen and bottled the first ever 100% Carmenère wine in Chile. Cuttings of Carmenère brought from Bordeaux in the 19th century had been mistakenly identified as Merlot for years – until 1994 when a visiting French researcher spotted the error. Pura Fe 2019 Carmenère has a rich mellow aroma with dark fruits, blackberries and chocolate. It is medium bodied with a fine silky texture with more bitter cherry and chocolate flavours emerging and lingering on the finish.
