The president of trade body Wines of Chile has called on the country’s winemakers to make more use of the Carmenère grape following years of research into the variety.
His backing of the grape follows a five-year research project to identify the best Carmenère clone for Chilean winemaking.
Silva said: “It is now time for Chile to embrace Carmenère’s potential. Not only is it a unique variety to our country, it can make truly world-class wines, whether varietal or blends.”
He has called on producers to “get the best out of the variety” and help to discover the best terroirs in the country that help to “optimise its natural characteristics.”
