A “viticultural garden of Eden” (Decanter), Chile produces some of the best-value wines in the world. And this 2022 Carmenère, singing with glorious ripe fruit and great complexity, epitomises all that’s great about this fabulous wine country. Carmenère is a variety that fell out of favour in Bordeaux, as it had a tendency to ripen late (and occasionally not at all). However, it ripens to perfection every year in Chile’s winemaking paradise. So much so that today it's regarded as a national treasure. This classic example hails from the vineyards of Luis Felipe Edwards. They're a long-established family winery with an enviable reputation for quality. Expect bright, upfront red fruit with spicy, green pepper notes. Ideal with veggie kebabs.
