Casa Lapostolle, a renowned winery in Chile, is celebrated for its dedication to producing high-quality wines with a focus on sustainability and traditional winemaking techniques. The Cuvee Alexandre Carmenere is a testament to this commitment, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Carmenere grape, a varietal that has found a perfect home in Chile's Colchagua Valley. This wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a subtle complexity to the wine. The resulting wine is rich and full-bodied, with a vibrant bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of spice and a touch of earthiness. The tannins are well-structured, providing a smooth and lingering finish. This Carmenere pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various dining occasions.

Wine Spectator

94

A spicy carmenere with nice complexity and freshness. Tapenade, currants and black cherries with grilled tarragon and a hint of roasted red pepper. A juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate that underscores the freshness and length. Fresh, medium acidity for carmenere with fine-grained tannins.
