Very deep and intense purple in colour. The nose shows aromas of black fruits and spices such as black pepper and paprika as well as notes of rosemary, black olives, incense and cigar box. The spices appear first, followed by the black fruit along with notes of fresh-roasted coffee and just a hint of dark chocolate. This is an ample and lush wine with good acidity that lends nerve. Very fine tannins caress the palate on a long finish with very good persistence
KAI is the finest Carmenere wine produced by Viña Errázuriz from its estates in the Aconcagua Valley. It reflects the true expression of Carmenere, which is now considered to be Chile’s emblematic variety. KAI means “plant” in the language of the Mapuches, one of Chile’s original peoples.
Errazuriz has been making wine since 1870, beginning in the Aconcagua Valley. The family have always believed that great wine starts in the vineyard. 5th generation, Eduardo Chadwick has continued the mantra by establishing Seña and Viñedo Chadwick as international world class wines in addition to the time-honoured Errazuriz portfolio of wines.
