De Martino
Estate Reserva Carménère
Maipo Valley, Central Valley, Chile
If you are planning to come to Chile looking for a bargain better think twice. In our country the wine industry faces no competition whatsoever, thanks to a carefully elaborated policy that puts heavy taxes on imported, potentially competitive wines. Because of this you can easily -and paradoxically, for the "cheap and cheerful country "- pay twice the price if you buy locally, well, unless you go for top-tier, "iconic" wines. This IS NOT the case. A 10 USD bottle that's worth every cent. Fresh and light, subtly oaked, green if you insist, moderately alcoholic . A win-win if you are visiting us, it will vanish in front of your very eyes before you notice!. Nevertheless, I agree with fellow reviewers that is lacking some varietal characters, but I will drink it anyhow.

2 people found it helpfulFeb 2nd, 2015Agricultura sustentável e técnicas viníferas tradicionais conferem ao vinho grande pureza, sentido de lugar e equilíbrio.
O cultivo é feito no antigo leito do rio Maipo, cujo trajeto fora alterado há mais de um século por terremotos, o que confere solo fértil à excelência.
Às vezes mal dizemos eventos que determinam justamente ao que há de mais elevado em nós.
Desfrute cada mergulho em Si.
