About this wine

Caliterra Tributo Carmenere is a beautifully expressive red wine from Chile's Colchagua Valley, crafted with precision and respect for terroir. Sourced from the Boldo block of the Caliterra Vineyard, this wine showcases the unique character and complexity of Carmenere, one of Chile's most celebrated grape varieties. Why You'll Love It This is Carmenere with real personality—vibrant, fresh, and fruit-driven with classic herbal notes that define the variety. The Tributo range highlights individual vineyard blocks, balancing elegance and intensity with sustainable winemaking practices. With 12 months in French oak and excellent ageing potential through 2029, this wine offers outstanding quality and value from one of Colchagua's finest producers. Vineyard & Production Sourced from the Boldo block of the Caliterra Vineyard in the Colchagua Valley, where vines thrive in colluvial soils rich in deep clay with northeast exposure. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with selected dry yeasts, lasting 23–30 days at controlled temperatures of 24–28°C. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation and matured for 12 months in second- and fifth-use French oak barrels, preserving purity while adding subtle complexity. Tasting Notes Vibrant purple-red colour with intense aromas of ripe red fruit and classic herbal notes. The nose evolves with hints of blueberries, tarragon, bay leaf, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it's fresh, vibrant, and fruit-driven with soft textured tannins, balanced acidity, and impressive volume. A wine of elegance and energy with a long, satisfying finish. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine that shines with roasted lamb, grilled vegetables, spicy dishes with fresh herbs, mushroom risotto, charcuterie boards, or aged cheeses. Also excellent with herb-crusted beef, empanadas, or smoky barbecue. Grape Variety 100% Carmenere from Colchagua Valley
