Frida Kahlo Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Nose: Intense aromas of dark fruit, including black currants (cassis), blackberries, and plum jam. Secondary notes from the oak aging include smooth, elegant cedar, a touch of licorice, and sometimes hints of spice, coffee, or chocolate.
Palate: Very rich and generous, with a medium-to-full body. It is simultaneously fresh and vibrant. The palate has abundant fruit that is concentrated and savory.
Finish: Long and flavorful, leaving a memorable impression of the wine's bold and structured character.
Pairing
Roast Beef, Rack of Lamb, or Lamb Shank. Duck or other full-flavored game birds.
Cheese: Mature/Aged Cheeses with high flavor intensity, such as Sharp Cheddar or Pecorino.
Excellent with chocolate desserts, where the wine's dark fruit and mocha notes will harmonize.
Climate
Chile’s Mediterranean climate features warm, dry summers and cold, rainy winters. The proximity of the Andes Mountains plays an important role, and as the mountains rise in altitude, the temperatures drop. The interaction between the effects of the Andes and those of the Pacific Ocean during the growing season creates a broad daily temperature differential that helps the grapes develop fresh flavors and tremendous typicity. The Pacific Ocean is also important to vineyard development.
Chile’s coasts have two great characteristics, their westward orientation and the cold Humboldt Current, which work together to create continental winds that have a cooling effect in the country’s central zone and result in wines with higher acidity and elegant aromas. The healthy, well-drained soils have a variety of origins (alluvial, colluvial, fluvial, etc.) and textures (marl, clay, sand, silt). Despite the relatively dry weather conditions, abundant water for irrigation flows from the eternal ice of the Andes Mountains.
History
Viña Carmen: Founded in 1850 by Christian Lanz, Viña Carmen is the oldest and one of the most historic wineries in Chile. The winery, named in honor of his wife, has a long history of pioneering in the Chilean wine industry. They were the first to identify and cultivate Carmenère, a grape that was once thought to be extinct. They were also the first Chilean winery to create an organic wine line.
