Novas Carménère (Chile)

This wine blends Carmenere, probably Chile's most important red grape, with Cabernet Sauvignon to produce a full-bodied, yet easy-going wine.

This is a typical example of Colchagua Carmenère, with intense black fruit flavours and a satisfying note of green chilli spice. The palate has a bright, fresh bloody feel common to Cabernet, with Carmenère's darker leafy note. Also expect some blackcurrant, black pepper, and tobacco leaf notes.

Novas is a venture of Emiliana, who operate the largest certified organic vineyards in the world. Their wines can always be found on the Cork shelves due to their quality and value, and this wine is no exception.

Pair this with lamb in mint sauce, or a pepper-crusted steak.
