Product Description
Being a true expression of the typical Peumo terroir, with a touch of the characteristic fruit notes from Los Lingues, this icon pairs the soul of two of Chile’s top Carmenère appellations. Its color is deep ruby red; the note offers fresh red and black fruit and spices like nutmeg. Herencia is a silky wine, structured, distinctly fresh, broad and deep.

Product details
Herencia
Tradition, innovation, and passion: this is Herencia, the icon Carmenère that summarizes Santa Carolina’s over 135 year history. A true expression of the Peumo terroir’s typicity, this wine combines the soul of two of Chile’s best Carmenère valleys.
This icon wine is a result of team work, with the participation of over 150 people led by Santa Carolina’s Winemaking Manager, Andrés Caballero. The 2007, 2008 and 2009 vintages reflect our winery’s Chilean Heritage.
This exceptional Carmenère from Peumo, in the Cachapoal Valley, is a deep, dark red with a mature bouquet. It is an elegant wine for very special occasions. Herencia has an ageing potential of at least ten years.
