From the sunlit hills of Chile’s Colchagua Valley, far from ocean mist, comes Terranoble CA1 Andes Carmenère, a bold, intense expression of Carmenère shaped by high altitude vineyards closer to the Andes foothills. This wine channels pure fruit, structured tannins, and earthy depth for a powerful yet polished Chilean red.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Deep aromas of blackberries, dark plums, red pepper, and earthy herbs, layered with notes of cassis and subtle tobacco undertones.

Production Details
Sourced from vineyards closer to the Andes, this Carmenère thrives in arid, sun-drenched conditions. Fermented in stainless steel before being aged in French oak barrels for 14–16 months. The result is a wine with bold concentration, firm structure, and cooling mountain freshness.

Perfect For
Ideal alongside roasted lamb, grilled beef, game meats, or hearty vegetarian fare. It’s built to stand up to bold flavors, think spicy sauces, aged cheese, or richly layered dishes.

Expert Notes
CA1 shines as a counterpoint to coastal Carmenère (like CA2): here you find ripeness, intensity, and structure framed by mountain grown fruit rather than cooling breezes. Frequently recognized for its purity and aging potential, it’s a standout among premium Chilean reds.

Interesting Fact
CA1 represents vineyards planted at higher elevations, giving Carmenère that rare mix of ripe warmth and refreshing lift from cooler nights.

Serving Suggestions
Serve at 16–18 °C and open it an hour early or decant to let its flavors soften. Pairs exceptionally well with grilled red meats, smoky vegetables, or spicy stews.
