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 terroirs:
Peumo
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.
