{"product_id":"central-valley-carmen-1995","title":"Cabernet Sauvignon Carmen Vineyards 1995","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon from Carmen Vineyards S.A. is a red wine produced in Chile's Central Valley. Founded in 1850, Carmen Vineyards is a historic producer in the Chilean wine landscape. For this 1995 vintage, the winemaking was overseen by Alvaro Espinoza, utilizing grapes sourced from the Central Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the world's most renowned blue grapes used for crafting structured red wines. While this grape is typically cultivated in regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany, it has become a cornerstone of Chilean viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Central Valley is Chile's largest and most significant wine region, stretching 400 kilometers from the Maipo Valley south of Santiago down to the Maule Valley. Geographically, it forms a massive valley floor situated between the towering Andes Mountains to the east and the Coastal Range to the west. The vines benefit from nutrient-rich, alluvial soils consisting of clay, gravel, and silt, deposited over millennia by rivers flowing from the Andes. Thanks to the country's natural geographical isolation, the region has historically been spared from the phylloxera pest, allowing many vines to grow on their original, ungrafted roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe climate in the Central Valley is predominantly Mediterranean, characterized by warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The region's location between the two mountain ranges creates ideal conditions for viticulture. During the day, abundant sunshine ensures optimal ripening of the grapes, while cold air currents descending from the Andes at night cause a significant drop in temperature. This diurnal temperature variation is crucial for preserving the natural acidity of the grapes. Due to the dry summer months, the vineyards rely heavily on irrigation using pure snowmelt from the snow-capped Andean peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carmen Vineyards S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57716643004742,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1775_53de6021-a844-4d86-b7c9-c29416e34c78.jpg?v=1793099762","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/central-valley-carmen-1995","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
