TW Wines Carménère 2022

Tasting Notes:    Inky aubergine, the hue of this Carmenere is a clue of the characters to come. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and darkest cherry with complex notes of tobacco and molten tar introduce the flavourful palate. Flavours of dark cherry, black currant leaf, tamarillo and blackberry are discovered, with spice and tobacco on the finish.

Carménère (“carmen-yair”) Loved by Merlot drinkers.  Originating in France, Carménère is a medium-bodied red wine with supple berry flavors and herbaceous green peppercorn notes. Grown here by TW, it is mostly grown in Chile, where it was first mistakenly planted as merlot.
