Gran Terroir Los Lingues Carmenere, Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva

The Colchagua Valley where the grapes for this wine are grown is home to many of Chile’s top premium wines, this beautifully expressive Carmenere amongst them. Deep ruby with a violet rim. On the nose, intense, with notes of ripe black fruits with hints of wild forest fruits. On the palate, good balance between fruit and oak, good structure, powerful, sweet and round tannins, and notes of boysenberries and hints of tobacco. Excellent finish. This Carmenere will accompany a surprisingly broad range of dishes. It’s sensational with lamb stew, beef Wellington, seasoned turkey, Thai red curry chicken or any kind of barbecued meat. Also ideal with kebabs, Indian or Mediterranean food.
