Viña Pérez Cruz Carmenere 2022

Viña Pérez Cruz Carmenere 2022

$38.90

This carmenere shows an intense and deep purple color, with a medium ruby rim, clean and bright. On the nose, it displays an exuberant fruit expression, where notes of ripe fruits such as black plums and blackberries can be appreciated. These aromas are combined with elegant hints of spices such as black pepper, which add intensity and aromatic depth, as well as subtle herbal notes that characterize this variety. On the palate, the wine reminds the fruits felt on the nose, which intensify and create a balanced blend with a marked acidity that helps to boost the tannins, giving a balanced structure to the wine, to finish with a smooth and silky sensation. It has a velvety texture, which contributes to a pleasant, long finish.

WINEMAKER

Germán Lyon

Germán Lyon is the Head Winemaker and Technical Director at Viña Pérez Cruz, one of Chile’s most respected family-owned wineries located in the Maipo Andes Valley. With a background in agronomy and oenology, Lyon has been at the helm since the winery's first vintage in 2002, shaping its identity and international reputation. His winemaking philosophy centers on minimal intervention, precision viticulture, and a deep respect for the unique terroir of the Maipo Andes—an area known for its Mediterranean climate and exceptional conditions for red varietals.

Under Lyon’s leadership, Pérez Cruz has become especially renowned for its structured, elegant expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, and Petit Verdot. His approach combines modern techniques with a clear commitment to authenticity, allowing each wine to reflect the character of its origin. Beyond Pérez Cruz, Germán also leads his own boutique project, LOF Wines, based in Alto Jahuel, where he crafts small-lot Syrah and Cabernet with his family. Whether leading a large-scale estate or a personal label, Lyon’s work consistently highlights Chile’s potential for world-class, terroir-driven reds.

WINERY

Perez Cruz

Vina Perez Cruz is a family-owned winery specialised exclusively in the production of red wines from mostly Bordeaux varieties that are bottled on site and reflect the character and identity of the Maipo Alto Valley.
The Pérez Cruz family’s primary objective is to express their estate’s personality through wines with character and identity. The wines are 100% single-estate origin, which affords the winery total control of the outstanding fruit which arrives at full maturity and with uniform ripeness. French-trained winemaker German Lyon, assisted by the occasional consult from Álvaro Espinoza, one of the leading biodynamic experts in the country, takes a gentle and diligent approach to handling the fruit, which flows through the multi-level gravity-fed winery without pumps.
