Carthagène
Terroir, Grape varieties & Vinification:
Our Carthagène is a blend of three grape varieties: Merlot, Syrah and Alicante.
Destemming of the grapes. Gentle pressing to preserve aromas. Clarification of the juice (cold temperature). Then alcohol is added (15.5%). The winegrower is bottling it quickly to preserve fresh grape aromas.
Characteristics:
Deep cherry red colour.
The nose is complex and elegant. It develops aromas of nuts, grape marmalade and pistachio nougat.
Fullness on the palate, well balanced with the same aromas as described previously. Finish with prunes and pine tree nuts aromas.
Tasting and Matching:
Serve at 10°C.
You can drink Carthagène as an aperitif or with chocolate desserts.
