Aliwen Carmenere cab sauv blend
Pour this and you get a deep, dark glass of blackberry and plum with a little peppery swagger behind it. Cabernet Sauvignon brings the backbone, Carménère brings the spice, and together they land somewhere bold but smooth, the kind of red that makes a Tuesday feel like an occasion. It's a proper nyama choma wine. Fire up the grill, call us, and we'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
First sniff is all ripe blackberry and plum, with a twist of black pepper and a whiff of something herby and green from the Carménère. On the palate it's full and juicy, dark fruit up front, then those spicy, savoury notes that give it character without going harsh. The tannins are there to hold it together but they're soft enough to keep things smooth, and a hint of oak rounds off a long, satisfying finish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Viña Undurraga, one of Chile's old, well-respected wine families. The name Aliwen means sacred tree in Mapudungún, an indigenous Chilean language, and it's no throwaway label. Undurraga ties the brand to a reforestation project that's planted thousands of native trees across Chile. The Cabernet and Carménère grow in Chile's Central Valley, where long warm days and cool nights give the fruit that ripe, juicy depth you taste in the glass.
