Indomita, Nostros Carménère Reserva, Maipo, Chile, 2025

Producer Profile

Viña Indómita occupies a truly spectacular location, between Santiago and Valparaíso in the heart of Casablanca, with an imposing house and a hillside sign that wouldn’t look out of place in Hollywood.

Yet within this setting is a dynamic winemaking team and one of the most exciting winemaking projects in Chile. With vineyards the length of Chile, from Casablanca to Maipo, as well as Maule and Itata, they take full advantage of the region’s climatic differences, focusing on Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the cooler Casablanca Valley, Carignan in the Maule Valley, Pais in the Itata Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère in the warmer Maipo region. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are taken seriously, with measures taken to minimise waste water and energy consumption alongside ventures to create local employment across both winemaking and wine tourism.

Viticulture

This delicious Carménère is made from select grapes sourced from the winery’s own vineyards in the Maipo Valley, where the soils are composed of deep clay of alluvial origin.

Winemaking

Traditional alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at 28–29 °C. The maceration period varies from 5 to 15 days.

Tasting Note

An intense, almost black red colour. Aromas of red and black wild berries, truffle, paprika, pepper, and clove. The round, silky body—so characteristic of ripe Carménère—offers a full, persistent, and thoroughly satisfying experience.

Food matching

Risotto, fowl and game meat, and oriental cuisine.
