Expert Opinion

In the press...

Classy Carmenere from one of Chile's big producers, with just the right dollops of gorgeous, dusky raspberry fruit, rich creamy oak and the telltale crunchy, verdant finish.

Remarkable Wine!

By jtbedford

This review is for the 2012 vintage

The deep red colour and intense flavours of this wine were a complete winner with me. Normally a Shiraz drinker, I gave this wine a go as it was on offer. I am pleased I did. I had not tried this wine before, or the grape variety, but after tasting, it has left me wanting more. If you like heavy bodied wines, rich in flavour, then I would highly recommend. If you like the lighter body wines, then I doubt this would suit. A remarkable wine, at a good price.

Fabulous Carmenere

This review is for the 2010 vintage

A great example of my favourite grape, this full bodied wine has a really good depth of flavour and each new bottle is as good as the last. I have already bought the 2011 offering and have no reason to doubt that it will be equally as good.

If you have never tasted Carmenere before you should take this opportunity. Absolutely delicious velvety body - can't speak too highly of it!

Great red

A lovely plummy soft red. Smooth drinking, good either with food or just as a glugger.

Very nice

By prnacer

This is a very nice fruity tasting carmenere, but occasionally can seem a little"thick" so it is better with meals rather than on its own as it helps to bring out all the flavours of both food and wine.

Star wine

By Pepperoni

At twice the price this would be a considerable bargain.Dark coloured and exhibiting the typical carmenere characteristics it may be a bit juicy for some
