Purple Angel has been rated by critics worldwide as a wine from another planet. It represents a new dimension of Carmenère, a grape variety rediscovered in Chile in 1994 after being considered extinct when phylloxera devastated Bordeaux two centuries ago. Today, Carmenère is synonymous with Chilean wine, and Purple Angel is synonymous with the best Carmenère.
Pairing
Dishes with exuberant flavors of spices, fresh herbs, and hints of heat. Grilled meat with spiced or sweet-and-sour marinades. Flavorful dishes made with grains, legumes, or dough that have body and texture, such as quiche, risottos, and cannelloni.
Tasting Notes
Elegant on the nose, with aromas of ripe red and black berries over a background of sweet notes. Being stored in French oak barrels adds aromas of dark chocolate, coffee which go with the typical fruity aromas of this variety. Well structured on the palate, with smooth and full tannins.
Grapes: 92% Carmenere & 8% Petit Verdot
