Introduction:
Tarapaca Natura + Plus Organic Red Blend is crafted from northeast-facing vineyards in the Maipo Valley, benefiting from the cool afternoon breezes that moderate the high daytime temperatures, while the large temperature swings at night help develop deep flavors. This organic wine is a delightful blend of flavors, offering an intense, fresh nose, and a balanced, juicy palate.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: Deep red with violet hues, a visually striking wine.
- Nose: Fresh and fruity with vibrant red fruit aromas like cherries and fresh strawberries, alongside spicy notes of pepper, nutmeg, and dill. Subtle hints of vanilla, chocolate liqueur, and coconut from the barrel aging process.
- Palate: Juicy, medium-bodied, and balanced with ripe red fruit flavors, complemented by smooth tannins that provide structure. Its acidity adds freshness and tension, with a long, pleasant finish.
Pairing Suggestions:
- Pasta with ragù sauce: Pairs perfectly with rich, meaty pasta dishes.
- Charcuterie and semi-ripened cheeses: Ideal with a selection of cured meats and cheeses like Brie or Gouda.
