Vintage Notes:
The 2023 vintage began with reasonable weather throughout bloom and set. During the sizing phase, we experienced very warm weather that affected berry growth on many varietals. In mid-March, while harvest slowed due to moderate temperatures, the prolonged ripening period-maintained vine balance and
higher fruit quality. Overall, the 2021 vintage delivered yields slightly normal while
upholding our desired fruit characteristics and quality. Picked by hand during the last
week of April.
Fermentation Notes
The fruit was harvested on April 12, 2021, at optimum ripeness. The grapes were hand-picked into 15-pound boxes and transported to the winery. Initial fermentation, as well as malolactic fermentation is completed in stainless steel tanks using the rack and return method of cap management. 100% malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Notes
Buen Andres Carménère stands out for its intense red fruits, good body and long aftertaste. At sight you can notice the deep dark and bright red color, while on the nose it’s possible to perceive black floral species with the presence of fresh red fruits.
Its tannic structure is elegant, delivering a fresh and fruity final. Elegant wine that will hold its own when paired with grilled meats, roasts and game dishes
