Critical Acclaim:

Awarded 90/100 points, Alistair Cooper MW, By Catad’Or (Latin America Wine Guide)

Los Coches Carmenere is made from premium grapes grown in the Rapel Valley, renowned for producing some of Chile's finest reds. The ripe bunches are carefully harvested, then destemmed and crushed before fermentation, during which gentle pump-overs help to extract the finest flavours and tannins from the skins. The wine is aged in oak to make it round and complex."

Food Match: This wine likes meat: beef, lamb, pork and game. It’s also a good choice for ingredients that could be troublesome for other wines: tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic. Vegetable soups and mushrooms are also good alternatives and, if opting for cheeses, go for the yellow, medium-bodied type.
