For those seeking a delightful red wine experience, Casa Lapostolle Carmenere is a remarkable choice. This wine originates from the central semi-arid Rapel Valley in Chile, where the unique climate, influenced by the Pacific's Humboldt Current, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop their full character.
The hand-harvested grapes are transported in temperature-controlled containers to ensure quality. At the winery, a state-of-the-art optical berry selector, Vistalys, meticulously chooses only the freshest grapes for production. The grapes undergo a maceration process lasting up to four weeks, followed by a two-week fermentation period in stainless steel tanks using native yeast. To enhance complexity while preserving the natural fruit expression, 21% of the wine is aged in French Oak barrels after fermentation.
Casa Lapostolle Carmenere features a blend that includes a dash of Merlot and Syrah, which adds red fruit notes and a rounded spiciness. This wine pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, pork, or grilled red meats, making it a versatile option for various meals.
Please drink responsibly.
