Montes Purple Angel Carmenère

Colchagua Valley, Chile

Chile's most celebrated single-variety Carmenère from Apalta's granite hillside — dark chocolate, blackberry, red pepper, tobacco, and the distinctive Carmenère vegetal complexity when perfectly ripe. One of Chile's finest wines and the definitive expression of this unique variety at its most complete.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Chilean braised veal and Chilean Carmenère — the wine's dark chocolate and tobacco complexity handles the rich braising; red pepper in the pebre bridges the Carmenère's characteristic notes
• main: Colchagua's festive pork tradition and its finest Carmenère — the wine's dark fruit handles the pork's rich fat; merkén's smoke bridges the wine's tobacco character
