"Old vine carignan is an underrated delight in the world of wine. As they age, the naturally high-yielding vines slow down, concentrating more flavor and depth into less fruit. In turn, the grapes offer plenty of complexity and nuance that hadn't yet quite developed when the vines were harvested in their youth. Winemakers are quickly taking note, especially in Chile's Maule Valley, where vines dating back to the 1940s continue to produce fruit."
A certified wine specialist curated ten award-winning red wines approved by multiple international wine competition critics. The selection simplifies choices for hosts by balancing budget, taste, and food-pairing needs. Each recommended bottle includes food pairing suggestions suitable for light bites or hearty meals.
