Vina Tinajas Carmenere 2012
About the wine
- Soft silky chocolatey goodness - we understand why Carmenere is Chile's signature grape.
- Juan is a one-man dynamo. With the help of his family and the local village he gets the job done. No consultants, no sales managers, no agents, which is why the price is so damn low.
- After last year's success we begged him to make us a Carmenere - he set his best grapes aside for us - try it now

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Juan Ignacio Mena
- Juan is our favourite kind of winemaker. Big on grapes. Small on international wine marketing. A genuine artisan, one-man band, small-scale winemaker.
- Juan doesn't own a suit. Probably. He certainly doesn't have a sales manager. So when Juan's principal client went bust we stepped in and helped out. In exchange for preferential prices.
- Fresh, pure and delicious. Being a small producer, we don't have an endless supply of Juan's wine. So best get in while you can.
