Casa Julia's Reserva Carmenere is a gentle expression of the difficult to ripen Carmenere grape. The clusters are harvested from older vines in the Maipo Valley and the juice fermented slowly for 25 days at cool temperatures in order to preserve the fruitiness of the wine. The result is an instantly approachable wine that can also be aged for 5 - 7 years, if you've got the patience!

Casa Julia's mission is to produce wines that are expressions of where they're grown. They handle their wines minimally in the cellar, preferring to preserve the individual character of each vineyard.

Chile's Central Valley, located between the vast Pacific Ocean and the forbidding heights of the Andes Mountains, has excellent climate conditions for growing. The Valley is influenced by two major cooling effects, the "Humboldt Current"Âť which originates in the Antarctic and travels up the coast of the Ocean, and the nightly blowing of the cold desert air sweeping down the desolate slopes of the Andes. This lengthens the growing season, allowing fruit to reach full maturity, and granting greater flexibility in harvest.
