Alchemy Carmenere, made from grapes 100% harvested by hand and then 100% destemmed by hand. Our grapes never touch a crusher or de-stemmer, pumps and are bottled un-fined and unfiltered. Grapes are fermented with native yeasts in small open top vessels, then gently pressed using small hydro presses that extract the juice slowly and gently as to not extract astringent tannins. Wines are settled and then transferred using gravity in French oak barrels where they spend the next 12 months aging. The result is a wine with exception dark purple color, aromas of violets, dark red fruits, tobacco and spice. It’s soft, supple mouth feel is a result of the gentle care give to the winemaking process.
