Cantagua Carmenere

The Cantagua Carmenere is a classic expression of Chile’s signature grape, hailing from the expansive Central Valley. This wine delivers a superb balance of ripe fruit and subtle spice, making it an approachable and rewarding red for any occasion.

Vina Valle Frio is a family-owned winery with roots stretching back to the early 20th century in the heart of Chile. The producer is dedicated to crafting wines that faithfully reflect their terroir, combining traditional methods with modern technology. They have earned a reputation for consistently delivering expressive wines that represent excellent quality and value.

In the glass, the Cantagua Carmenere displays a deep, vibrant ruby-red color. The nose is greeted with enticing aromas of ripe red cherries and black plums, layered with a characteristic hint of green bell pepper and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, revealing flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and a hint of chocolate on the finish.

For the best experience, serve this wine slightly chilled, between 16-18°C (60-65°F). It pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, pasta with a rich tomato-based sauce, and aged cheeses.
