Chilean winemaking has deep roots, dating back to the Spanish conquistadors who brought vines in the 16th century. French influence was significant in the 19th century, especially after the phylloxera plague devastated European vineyards, leading many French winemakers to Chile. Cabernet Sauvignon, a French variety, found a welcoming terroir in Chile's Central Valley.

Premium Feature
This Cabernet Sauvignon offers a balance of fruit-forward notes and subtle earthy undertones, typical of the Central Valley terroir. Expect ripe fruit and a touch of spice.
Carmen Insigne Cabernet Sauvignon typically exhibits flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, and plum, often accompanied by hints of cedar, vanilla, and a subtle herbal or earthy quality. The tannins are usually well-structured, contributing to a medium-bodied wine with a smooth finish. The Valle Central's warm days and cool nights help ripen the grapes fully while preserving acidity.
Premium Feature
Serving Temperature
Serve this Cabernet Sauvignon slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F), to fully appreciate its flavors and aromas. Avoid serving too warm, as this can accentuate the alcohol and diminish the fruit notes.
Decanting
While not always necessary for younger wines, decanting for 30 minutes to an hour can help open up the wine's aromas and soften the tannins, particularly if the wine is a few years old.
Glassware
Use a Bordeaux-style glass, which has a larger bowl, to allow the wine to breathe and fully express its aromas.
