Carménère Reserva Santa Rita 2006
The Carménère Reserva from the 2006 vintage is an estate-grown red wine produced by Santa Rita, a Chilean winery established in 1880. This Reserva classification wine is sourced directly from the producer's own vineyards located in the Valle del Rapel region of Chile.
The wine is made from Carménère. Originally a traditional Bordeaux variety, Carménère is today primarily associated with Chilean viticulture, though it is also cultivated in other wine-producing areas such as Bordeaux, Northern Italy, and California. The Valle del Rapel provides the growing conditions for this specific 2006 release, which was bottled at 14.5% alcohol by volume.
