Los Vascos Cromas Carmenere Gran Reserva

Description

WINEMAKING
The harvest started on March 22nd and ended on April 20th. This Carmenère is made with the same care as our Bordeaux Grands Crus. Grapes are carefully picked by hand when reaching phenolic ripenes. After thorough sorting and desteming, grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Regular pumpover ensure a gentle extraction of the tannins. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

TASTING NOTES
Beautiful bright ruby colour. The nose reveals aromas of cherry, blackberry, and blueberry. Notes of black pepper, ripe red bell pepper, black olive, paprika, smoked chili powder, thyme, and bay leaf can be discerned in this Carmenère. The palate offers loads of chocolate truffles, roasted chestnuts and cherry liqueur. The tannin is forward and persistent.
