Root:1
Carmenere
Located between the Andes Mountains and the low coastal mountains of the Pacific Ocean, the warm and dry vineyards of El Suspiro in Peralillo are world-renowned for producing outstanding red wines with rich color, full body, and pure varietal character. The steep, rocky slopes of sand over clay help maintain moisture during the intense summer heat, while the coastal mountains temper the vines with the cool maritime influences of the Pacific. The rich, ripe flavor profile of Root: 1 Carmenere allows for a longer post maceration, resulting in a very smooth texture of soft tannins that develop complexity during the ten months of aging in American and French oak.
Tasting Notes
Intense violet in color with ripe aromas of blackberries and warm spice. Full-bodied and fruit-forward with plum, cherry and a hint of smoke. Smooth tannins and good structure create perfect balance and a powerful finish with notes of vanilla.
Food Pairing
Try Root: 1 Carmenere with hearty chili, pork stew or barbeque ribs. Serve with roasted eggplant parmesean or vegetarian lasagna, or pair it with rich cheeses like Camembert or Brie.
