Carmenere is a wonderful deep purple smooth yet rich grape with an amazing past. Interestingly Carmenere was one of the original six grapes grown in the Bordeaux region but it disappeared from French vineyards in the mid 1800s. Nearly 100 years later vines were brought to Chile and originally grew among beautiful merlot vineyards. Early in its Chilean existence Carmenere was found to thrive in the central region and has now become the countrys primary varietal. You can enjoy this varietal for less than $2.60 per bottle!
