Clos de Luz Massal 1945 Carmenere 2021

Crafted from some of Chile's oldest ungrafted Carmenere vines, Clos de Luz Massal 1945 Carmenere 2021 is a remarkable expression of this historic grape variety. Sourced from massal-selection vineyards planted in 1945 in the Almahue Valley, part of the renowned Rapel Valley, this exceptional wine showcases both the heritage and future potential of Chilean Carménère.

Produced with minimal intervention to preserve vineyard character, the 2021 vintage delivers impressive concentration and complexity while maintaining freshness and balance. Matured in French oak, it combines ripe dark fruit with savoury spice, herbal nuances and polished tannins, resulting in a wine of depth, elegance and remarkable ageing potential.

• The nose reveals aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum layered with graphite, tobacco, black pepper and subtle herbal notes.
• The palate is rich and structured, displaying dark berry fruits, cocoa, spice and earthy complexity supported by refined tannins.
• The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of black fruit, cedar and savoury spice.

A powerful yet beautifully balanced Carmenere that highlights the character of old-vine Chilean vineyards.

Perfectly paired with grilled beef, roast lamb, game dishes and mature cheeses.
