The 2019 Vina Marty Pirca Carmenere is a deliciously approachable expression of Chile’s signature grape.
Viña Marty, established in 2008, is a family-owned winery led by renowned winemaker Pascal Marty. Marty, known for his work with Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Opus One, and Almaviva, brings a wealth of knowledge to his own project here in Chile.
Sourced from the Maule Valley, this medium-bodied Carmenere is a great introduction to Chilean reds. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of dark and red fruits, intertwined with hints of tobacco and black pepper. The palate is equally impressive, delivering flavors of raspberry and subtle black pepper, balanced by soft tannins and avoiding the overt herbaceousness often associated with the variety.
Perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes, this wine is both versatile and smashable, making it an excellent choice for gatherings and casual sipping alike.
