Carménère, once thought to be extinct in France, found a new home in Chile, where it has thrived in the diverse terroirs of the Central Valley. The grape is known for its deep color, rich fruit flavors, and distinctive herbal notes. Carmen’s Winemaker’s Black blend takes this exceptional varietal and elevates it, creating a wine that is both complex and approachable
Its bold flavors make it an excellent match for grilled meats, especially lamb or beef, as well as rich, hearty stews. For a vegetarian option, consider pairing it with mushroom risotto or a savory ratatouille. The wine’s herbal notes also complement dishes with fresh herbs or spices
