The grapes for Max Carmenere come from Errazuriz's Max vineyards in Chile's Aconcagua Valley. Located close to Errazuriz's winery in Panquehue, the special conditions of these diverse soils mean the Carmenere grapes develop tremendous concentration of aromas and flavours resulting in a ripe and juicy red wine with great balance and softness.

Tasting notes: Chile produces some of the world's best Carmenère, and this is a brilliant example. Rich but elegant this red wine has black and red fruits, spicy pepper aromas and notes of chocolate and roasted coffee. Fresh yet delicate, with fine-grained tannins and a silky texture on the palate.

Alcohol by volume: 13.5%.

Serving suggestions: Enjoy with grilled and roasted red meats, pizza/pasta, casseroles/stews, mature strong cheese.

Vinification details: Grapes were handpicked and taken to the winery to be prepared for fermentation. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels for 1 year before release, resulting in beautiful integrated tannins and a soft gentle finish for this Chilean Carmenere.
