Product Notes

Caliterra Pétreo Carmenère is a magnificent Chilean wine boasting an attractive deep ruby colour. It beguiles with intense aromas of blackberries, plums, and dark chocolate, with subtle hints of sweet spices. These vibrant aromas give way to an elegant, medium-bodied palate balanced with fine, supple tannins. It exhibits an excellent concentration of jammy dark fruit flavours and earthy undertones that echo the wine's terroir. The finish is satisfyingly long and stylish, creating a harmonious sensation that lingers on the palate. A vibrant reflection of Chile's prestigious Colchagua Valley, Caliterra Pétreo Carmenère is a delightful companion to many meals.

Tasting Notes

This special carmenere is both intense and surprising. Its aromatic palette is very different from the one normally exhibited by this variety. It all comes from the special terroir of the rocky slope where its vines are grown. Its bouquet is completed with pleasant and fruity aromas of sour cherries and blueberries. It is juicy, bracing and sanguineous. Filled with fruitiness, with a medium yet deep structure, the unique texture of its tannins makes this wine an outspoken and elegant one, which gradually shows its whole personality as it's being served.

About the Winery

Caliterra

Nestled in the breathtaking vineyard valleys of Central Chile, Caliterra Winery embodies the essence of Chilean wine country. Its name is derived from the Spanish words "calidad" meaning quality and "tierra" meaning land, a representation that aptly suits this prestigious estate.

Founded in 1996 through a partnership between two wine aficionados – Robert Mondavi and Viña Errázuriz's President Eduardo Chadwick – Caliterra had a clear goal: to craft high-quality, ecologically friendly wines with a distinctly Chilean character. Proving to be a harmonic union of traditional Chilean and innovative Californian winemaking techniques, their wines exude an allure that often captivates both seasoned sommeliers and budding oenophiles alike.

The vineyards of Caliterra stretch luxuriantly over the hilly landscape of the Colchagua Valley. Here, the vines are bathed in abundant sunlight and cooled by the breezes from the Andes, providing perfect conditions for growing an array of grape varieties. From robust Cabernet Sauvignons and husky Syrahs to refreshing Sauvignon Blancs and elegant Chardonnays, their portfolio of wines offers a taste for every palette.

However, what sets Caliterra apart from its counterparts is its keen consciousness toward sustainability. The winery is steadfast in its commitment to producing premium wines while operating within a framework of environmental respect and social responsibility. Their sustainability efforts encompass water conservation, recycling, carbon footprint reduction and improved worker's welfare...a testament to their ethos of 'respect for the land and its people.'

Today, Caliterra Winery continues to showcase the richness and diversity of Chile's wine-producing regions to a global audience, offering an unrivalled range of wines that beautifully illustrate the unique terroir of the Colchagua Valley. It is fitting then that Caliterra, a palpable embodiment of the harmony between wine, nature and mankind, is etched in the minds of wine enthusiasts world over.
