RIPE, DARK FRUIT, SOFT
Try this if you enjoy Aussie Shiraz
Incredible value classy red from Chile. Perfect everyday quaffing wine. Ripe dark fruit flavours, very soft palate, an easy drinking Carmenere.
The Metic wines are made for us by Luca Hodgkinson: a French/English/Spanish expat, who consult for many wineries in Chile and has his own business sourcing grapes from sustainable and in many cases organic vineyards. They make the wines with less manipulation than one would expect at this level.
Vines are 30 years old/ Planted on non-grafted rootstocks. The density is 2.5*1 m (2000 plants/Ha). Irrigation is by hand in the traditional flooding style, twice a year. The soil is perfect for Carmenere: 2m of pure clay sitting on a gravel old river bed.
