Discover Root 1 Carmenère:

Root 1 Carmenère is a varietal that pays homage to the heritage of Chile’s winemaking with its deep roots in the country’s terroir. This wine is crafted exclusively from Carmenère grapes, a variety that was once thought lost but rediscovered flourishing in Chile after being mistaken for Merlot vines for many years. The climate and soil conditions of the Colchagua Valley, where these vines are nurtured, provide an ideal environment for cultivating the full potential of this grape. The result is a wine that exhibits a rich tapestry of aromas and flavors, characterized by ripe fruit notes intertwined with hints of spice and earthiness.

On the palate, Root 1 Carmenère delivers a robust yet refined experience. It typically presents an alluring combination of blackberries and plums on the nose, followed by subtle nuances of dark chocolate and tobacco derived from careful aging in oak barrels. These elements contribute to its complexity while maintaining a smooth texture that leads to an elegantly rounded finish. The wine’s natural vibrancy is attributed to its pure expression without blending, allowing connoisseurs to appreciate the singular character that defines Carmenère as Chile’s signature grape—a testament to both tradition and innovation within modern winemaking practices.

Discover Carmenere Wines

Carménère is a savory red wine with a medium body that originated in France but is currently mostly made in Chile. The grape's name comes from the French word for crimson, ""carmin,"" which refers to the vines' brilliant crimson autumn leaves before they fall.

It was first grown in the Medoc area of France and is now used in modest amounts in Bordeaux blends. After the danger of phylloxera in the 19th century, Carménère was mostly abandoned in France owing to its poor fruit set and unpredictable yields. Carménère was introduced to Chile about this period and was first planted alongside other varieties, notably Merlot. It was subsequently discovered and currently thrives in Chile's ideal warm and dry growing conditions.

Carménère is Chile's most famous grape variety. It was designated the country's official variety in 1998. It is mostly found in the valleys of Colchagua, Rapel, and Maipo. Carmenere is found in limited amounts outside of Chile, with the Veneto region in North Eastern Italy being particularly noteworthy. Carménère is made as a single varietal, although it is often blended with Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.
