THE WINE

Tinto Fuego embodies the heat and passion of Chilean winemaking. Meaning “red fire”, the name reflects Chile’s sun-drenched days and cool Andean nights. This dramatic contrast in temperature brings vibrant acidity and deep, intense flavours.

Tinto Fuego a blend of Carmenère and Syrah from Chile’s renowned Maipo Valley is a rich, vibrant red that seamlessly marries the depth of Carmenère with the power of Syrah. It offers a plush texture with well-integrated tannins that lend structure without overshadowing the fruit. The nose is inviting and layered, revealing rich aromas of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, and ripe plum. On the palate, these dark fruits are enhanced by nuances of dark chocolate, black pepper, and a touch of warming spice. The finish is long, savoury, and satisfying, unfolding slowly with lingering notes of earth and spice.
