Description
Like Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère wine is a deep red, and has a rich aroma of spice and fruit. Unlike Cabernet Sauvignon, the tannins in Carménère wine tend to be much softer, and it is drinkable at relatively young ages. In recent years however, more and more wineries have begun to produce pure Carménère wine, full of cherry, earth and in some cases dark bitters.
Food Pairing: Carménère is divine with savoury dishes especially earthy stews and moderately spicy or even hot spicy dishes. It goes well with vegetables alone or meats and vegetables. It also handles spicy dishes off the grill perfectly.
