Casa Romero El Infiltrado Carménère 2021 - 750ml

Carménère is Chile's signature grape, and El Infiltrado is Casa Romero's most ambitious take on it, from the Maipo Valley. It ages 18 months in new medium-toast French oak barrels and finishes its ageing in second- and third-use barrels. Deep, intense purple. The nose is very expressive, with blackberry and blueberry, a subtle herb, bell pepper, pepper and a mineral clay background. The palate has great structure, plenty of fruit, soft ripe tannins and acidity that brings juiciness. 14% ABV. Pairs with empanadas, well-seasoned seafood, white and red meat. Serve at 16–18 °C.
