Discover the excellence of Undurraga Terroir Hunter Carmenere from the renowned Peumo subregion in Chile's Valle de Cachapoal. Crafted by one of Chile's most prestigious wineries, this wine is the product of meticulous vineyard selection and sustainable winemaking. The grapes are sourced from a small, low-yielding plot of ungrafted vines rooted in deep red clay and decomposed granite soils, which provide the ideal conditions for developing remarkable complexity and depth. The unique climate, influenced by high daytime temperatures and cooling Pacific breezes, allows the fruit to ripen fully while maintaining vibrant acidity and fresh aromatics. With a philosophy centred on minimal intervention, Undurraga showcases the purest expression of the Peumo terroir in every bottle.
