Description
The 2023 Bodega Volcanes Reserva Carmenère is an expressive Chilean red wine that owes its unique character to the volcanic soils of the region. This special terroir gives the wine a lively freshness and a striking mineral undertone. The wine is made mainly from Carmenère grapes, a variety known for its velvety tannins and spicy aromas. For more depth and structure, a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon was also added in the 2023 harvest, which provides a nice balance between ripe fruit and savory nuances.
The 2023 vintage presents itself with a deep ruby red color and smells of ripe blackberries, plums and subtle hints of spices such as black pepper, cloves and a touch of cinnamon. In the mouth the wine is full and round, with silky tannins and a harmonious finish in which notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans emerge. The fresh minerality, typical of the volcanic soil, gives the wine elegance and length.

Bodega Volcanes is a project that started in 2009 and is part of the Grupo Vinos del Pacifico (GVP). A number of employees of this group came up with the idea of creating a series of wines that should come from vineyards with 100% soils of volcanic origin.
The team consisted of winemaker María del Pilar Díaz, geologist Gonzalo Hendriguez and terroir manager Agustín Aguerrea. They have selected three vineyards, located throughout Chile, which they believe convey the ultimate expression of a volcanic soil in the wines. In Rapel Valley this is a vineyard with a soil of silt, clay and loam supplemented with coarser material such as Andesite stones (an outflow rock). In Maule Valley they found a vineyard with a soil of (weathered) granite. In Malleco Valley, the vineyard is planted on a soil of so-called "Tolhuaco", which consists of the ashes of a volcano. María Díaz strives to express the purity and minerality of the soil in the wines. This works very well, especially because there is never excessive use of (new) wood during fermentation and maturation. The wines are all vibrant and rich and have more complexity in aroma and taste than comparable wines from the same region.
