Product description
KOYLE CARMENÈRE "ROYALE" - 2016- CHILE
A very high-quality Carménère wine with a deep violet color. Its delicate and complex aromas are characterized by ripe red fruits, the typical red bell pepper note of Carménère, and accents of wild herbs from the Alto Colchagua growing region. On the palate, it reveals its full fruitiness and tannins. Due to a small percentage of Petit Verdot, its tannic structure is slightly more pronounced compared to pure Carménère wines. It has a long and complex finish. This Carménère wine has been aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. This concentrated Carménère is the perfect companion for grilled meat or lamb. To fully appreciate this high-quality wine, it is recommended to decant it at least 30 minutes before serving. An excellent wine that consistently delights wine enthusiasts and has the potential to age well.
The grapes for this high-quality Carménère wine are cultivated using biodynamic farming methods in the Alto Colchagua region.
The 2016 vintage of Koyle Royale Carménère show a deep purple color. The wine has interesting flavors of blackberries and spicy sandalwood and a final touch of native trees. The tannins are silky with a long, lingering finish that is influenced by the addition of Petit Verdot to the final blend, with a little touch of grippy tannins who help to built the medium palate feeling coming from Cabernet Franc. This carménère expresses the freshness and balance of Los Lingues State.
The grapes were picked in extremely small, selected parcels (less than one bottle per plant) from high density vines in our Los Lingues Estate, biodinamically farmed, coming from basalt rocky soils, where the roots can bring the minerality and complexity of the rocks. The vineyards are carefully pruned, with almost no irrigation, to express as much as possible the terroir. At optimum ripeness, the grapes are hand-picked in small boxes and brought to the cellar for careful hand- sorting. Vinification is conducted in small tanks to get the best extraction of aromas, flavors and silky tannins. After fermentation, the Koyle Royale Carménère is aged in French oak barrels for eighteen months, with no filtration.
