The vineyards stretch across coastal hills refreshed by breezes from the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, essential for maintaining the freshness of the aromas. The soils have a \u003cstrong\u003egranitic composition\u003c\/strong\u003e and are sandy-clayey, with the presence of volcanic stones. In this unique environment, Carmenere acquires an intense colour and a distinctive spicy note. Casa La Tenca, a historic estate founded by the Bulnes family, owes its name to a local songbird, demonstrating its commitment to \u003cstrong\u003esustainable viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e and the protection of biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with manual harvesting, sometimes carried out through \u003cstrong\u003enight picking\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the fragrance of the bunches. The grapes undergo cold maceration before fermentation at a controlled temperature. Through regular pumping over and frequent tastings, optimal extraction of aromas and colour is achieved. Maturation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and American oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which smooth the wine's spicy notes. This time in wood imparts an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a tasting experience characterised by notes of black berries, pepper, roasted pepper, and subtle hints of tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCasa La Tenca Reserva Carmènere\u003c\/strong\u003e originates in the evocative Colchagua Valley, on a nineteenth-century estate founded by the Bulnes family.
