Mont Gras Carmenère Reserva 2009 Colchagua Valley, Chile

Award Winner Bin Number: 023993
Up to 3 cases / 43 bottles in stock

An excellent red made from Chile's signature red grape variety.

An interesting, spice and black pepper nose precedes a deliciously full, soft, fruity palate, benefiting from the added depth and complexity of nine months in French oak barrels. Vineyards in the sunny Colchagua Valley are ideally suited for Carmenère, which requires a long, warm growing season to fully mature the fickle tannins of the grape. Brilliant value.

More information

In the press: “I love the chunkiness of [Carmènere] like this from the Colchagua valley especially, although its velvety richness is cut with acidity too.”
Andrew Neather, Evening Standard, 12 August 2010 (2007 vintage)
