Grapes harvested in May are destemmed and crushed, alcoholic fermentation (yeasts) begins at temperatures between 25 to 28 ° C (80 ° F) with open pumpovers. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wines are racked and the skins are pressed.

Carménère originated in Bordeaux, France, but is now grown mainly in Chile. The wine is treasured for its supple red-and-black berry flavors and herbaceous green pepper notes. It was recently discovered to be genetically identical to Cabernet Gernischt, a major red grape grown in China. Wine Folly
