- carmenére (car-men-AIR) Sometimes called Bordeaux’s 6th grape and has primarily been used in Bordeaux blends.
This grape produces full bodied, full flavored, deeply colored wines. The wine is vegetal
and has predominant flavors of green pepper, pepper, and spices. It was introduced in
Chile where it is also known as (Grand Vidure). More than 150 years ago, where it thrived
largely due to Chile never having phylloxera as most of its vines are planted on native
rootstock. In Chile it is typically blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, although
it is increasingly being bottled as a single varietal wine. Carménère wines are deeply colored
and are usually well structured with smooth well rounded tannins and ripe berry fruit flavors.
