ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2021 Odfjell "Armador" Carménère is a classic expression of Chile’s signature red grape, Carménère, sourced from the heart of the Central Valley. The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to achieve full ripeness while retaining freshness and balance. The grapes are hand-harvested, followed by a gentle vinification process that includes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s vibrant fruit character. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, adding depth and complexity. The 2021 vintage is approachable and versatile, making it an excellent companion to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews.
