Deep crimson color. Fresh and intense aromas of prune, white pepper, notes of the "garrigue" such as rosemary and thyme, and hints of ecualyptus predominate. 


(Check to print this review) 87 Points  Wine Advocate, February 2012 The 2010 Hacienda Araucano Carmenere exhibits a pleasing perfume of herbs, spices, olives, black plum, and blueberry. In the glass it opens to reveal a plush texture, good depth, and moderate length. It is a very good value meant for drinking over the next 3-4 years.

Araucano Carmenere 2011

Fresh and intense aromas of prune, white pepper, notes of the “garrigue” such as rosemary and thyme, and hints of eucalyptus predominate. The mid-palate is round with a dense tannic structure. The aromatic length is dominated by notes of red fruits adding contrast and complexity to this interesting wine.

Araucano Carmenere 2009

Concentrated nose of liquorice, black currants and a minty freshness. Exceptionally rounded and soft on the palate with additional aromas of white pepper and liquorice. On the finish slight grilled notes of coffee come through. Pair this wine with meats (pork filet, lamb) and cheeses.
