SANTA EMA's Carmenere offers a glimpse into Chile's rich wine tradition. As a signature grape of the country, Carmenère is known for its plum and dark berry flavors with a gentle tannin structure and savory green-pepper spice. Originating from Bordeaux, this grape nearly vanished there but found new life in Chile, where it thrives in warm areas. Expect plush, dark-fruited wines with a savory herbal edge, perfect for pairing with grilled meats, empanadas, and moderately spicy dishes.
