Fitz Roy 2021 Carménère

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
  • Fitz Roy is a collaboration between Elixir Wine Group and Chile’s Alex Huber of Invina Wines with the intention of bringing you hand crafted, terroir-driven, sustainably farmed Chilean varietal wine with unbelievable pricing.
  • Named after the highest mountain in Patagonia, whose granite flanks stand as a sentinel between Argentina and Chile.
  • Wines are produced at the Invina winery in Maule and are sourced from Invina’s sustainably farmed vineyard sites.
About the Wine
  • This Carménère is sourced from two sections of the Invina Batuco vineyard in the Maule Valley of Chile. The Carménère grapes with their flavor of black fruit, herbal notes and soft tannins are blended with Cabernet Sauvignon to add a spicy red fruit characteristic, and Syrah to include notes of red licorice.
  • The Batuco Vineyard is a thirty-year-old vineyard site that is own-rooted and situated in a small sub-valley on the eastern side of coastal mountains. The strong marine influence makes for long growing seasons and ripening conditions for Carménère.
