Humo Blanco L’Atelier Carménère

Blend: 100% Carménère

Location: Lolol, Colchagua Valley

Alcohol: 13% ABV

Tasting Note: Intense deep purple colour. A showcase for Carménère in its purest form. Fresh profile on the nose with subtle violet, black fruits and cherries intertwined with herbaceous notes that give its character and identity. Further aromas of pepper, boxwood, Chinese ink and licquorice. Bold in the mouth with juiciness and tension from the fresh acidity and structure.

Vinification: Strictly controlled hygienic handling to avoid risk of microbial spoilage. Immediate inoculation with yeasts that allow control of the medium from the outset. Fast and efficient fermentation in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 22 and 24°C. Once the fermentation is finished, the wine is racked and full malolactic fermentation is encouraged. Once this is complete the wine is racked twice more before bottling exactly one month after harvest. No sulphites are added during the vinification process.

Vegetarian: Yes

Vegan: Yes

Food Match: Perfect pairing with grilled meats (pork, lamb), herb-marinated feta and za’atar flatbreads.
