This Reserva wine from Caliterra Estate is a modern and elegant wine which seeks to reflect the particular characteristics of Caliterra terroir. These are distinctive and flavourful wines to be enjoyed on any occasion. We take pride in our vineyard, and the Carménère produced at Caliterra has been recognized for many years for its high quality and typicity. While we must not forget that this is Chile’s emblematic variety, our wines seek to highlight the uniqueness of the Caliterra Carménère. Our vineyards are more than 15 years old. They were planted when our project began and are managed according to our sustainable philosophy. The special aspects of the 2011–2012 season have been faithfully captured in this delightful and surprising wine, loaded with fruit and spices and very easy to drink.
