Herencia 2007

A bottle of Santa Carolina ‘Herencia’ 2007 is a celebration of 135 years of heritage and experience. Only 600 cases were bottled with the 2007 vintage, a very scarce and special product; a Carmenère made with the best grapes of our small vineyards of D.O. Peumo. This is a wine which looks for complexity and elegance, which will age lovely.


Carmenère is special to Chile and Herencia is the combination of two great terroirsPeumo in the Cachapoal Valley and Los Lingues in the Colchagua Valley.  94% of the blend is Carmenère with the remainder made up of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.  85% of the Carmenère comes from our La Rinconada Estate in Peumo and the rest comes from Los Lingues, Alto Colchagua.  Both are ideal terroirs for Carmenère in Chile.  Peumo provides structure, typicity, fruit and concentration to the blend while Los Lingues offers elegance and complexity…


TASTING NOTE
Deep, dark garnet red in appearance and bursting with ripe aromas of plums and cherries mixed with hints of tobacco and clove.  On the palate it is smooth and full-bodied and flavours include cassis and liquorice.  Its tannins are sweet and round while its finish is juicy and persistent.
