Sutil Reserve Carmenere

Grape variety/Vinification
100% Carmenère from Colchagua Valley.
The 10-day fermentation began with low temperatures that gradually rose to 24°C in order to conserve the fruity flavors and prevent excessive tannin extraction. The new wine was later left on its skins for an additional 7-day post-fermentation maceration for greater volume and to preserve the black-fruit aromas and flavors. After undergoing malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in French and American oak barrels for 8–10 months.

Tasting notes
Sutil Reserve Carmenère displays elegant aromas of ripe black fruits such as cherries and blueberries along with delicate smoky and toasted notes. The wine is very smooth and creamy on the palate with well-rounded tannins and good persistence.

Food pairing
Ideal with different types of meats, such as beef, lamb and pork. Also vergy good with vegatables such as eggplants and mushrooms.
