Tarapacá, Carménère, Gran Reserva

Kraftvoll dunkles Rot im Glas, lila Reflexe; leicht pfeffriger Duft steigt an die Nase und verbindet sich mit den Aromen von Kaffee, Vanille und Eukalyptus.

Dieser Rotwein ist ein vollmundig trockener Roter, der die sortentypische Süße und Würze des Carménères in bester Ausprägung betont; genialer Begleiter zu kräftigen Wildgerichten mit mächtigem Nachgang.
