TerraNoble CA2 Costa

Wine Description

This Carmenere is sourced from our vineyards located on the coastal mountain range of the Colchagua Valley. Benefiting from a strong maritime influence, this is a very unique Carmenere, as it offers both a refreshing elegance and character.  

The constant breezes off the Pacific Ocean cool the grapes, slowly maturing the intense aromas of dark fruit and spice. Grapes were picked at maximum of maturity to maintain all of the aromatic potential. Together with the soft texture and intense flavors on the palate, this wine is a perfect expression of Carmenere from the coast of Chile.

Acclaim
BEST VALLEY CHOICE/ COLCHAGUA COSTA: “CA is a TerraNoble project that shows opposite origins in the Colchagua Valley, such as Los Lingues toward the mountains and Lolol, toward the coast. And even though it’s a very good idea, and the 2 wines are delicious in their freshness and intense red fruit, they tend to be quite similar. In this case, there are herbs and spices, but it’s the red fruit that dominates in an energetic atmosphere, full of life. The wine is delicious, but I don’t know if the brand meets its objective.”

“Lolol supplies the grapes for this serious, dense, compact Carmenère, which makes a nice contrast with C1. Sourced from granitic soils, this is firm and well-structured with damson and blackberry fruit and a hint of dark chocolate.”
