Product details
Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva Carménère 2020 is an elegant expression from Casas del Bosque, crafted with fruit sourced from the renowned Cachapoal Valley, one of Chile’s most celebrated regions for Carménère. Produced from carefully selected vineyards in the Almahue area of Peumo, this vintage reflects the region’s warm climate, concentrated fruit character, and distinctive terroir. A particularly dry growing season resulted in exceptional richness and structure, allowing for a shorter period in oak and creating seamless integration between fruit and barrel influence. The result is a refined and expressive red with depth, balance, and a polished texture that showcases the signature style of premium Chilean Carménère.
The palate opens with generous layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and dark cherry, accented by earthy spice, cocoa, and savory undertones. Rich yet smooth, the texture is broad and velvety with finely structured tannins that create a lingering, elegant finish. Notes of roasted pepper, subtle oak spice, and dried fruit add complexity and depth, making this a versatile pairing for savory dishes featuring soy sauce, pork, duck, roasted vegetables, or caramelized onions. It also complements semi-firm cheeses with delicate sweetness, offering a balanced and satisfying tasting experience from beginning to end.
