This wine is now sold out - more will be on the way towards the end of the year. For another delicious red from the same estate, try the Casa Bauzá Atrevido 2018.

Nowhere else does the Carménère grape like Chile, and it’s high time more people got to know this delicious grape.

It’s from the northern part of Chile’s most prestigious wine region, the Maipo Valley.

This area, called Til-Til, is too hot to make most red grapes. Summer days get up to 35-36 degrees. But the nights drop by 20 degrees, and Carménère loves this climate.

Presumido is the star in Casa Bauza’s portfolio.

It’s exactly this standard of wine that earned Bauzá's winemaker, Natalia Poblete, Chile’s Young Winemaker of the Year in 2018.

She picks the grapes a month earlier than everyone else, to avoid over-ripeness in the wine. And instead of bludgeoning it with new oak, she gently ages it with a mixture of 3rd-5th use French and American oak, as well as old Italian casks and concrete eggs.

You end up with a smooth, elegant and refined red that the locals go nuts for - only a tiny amount of this is exported outside of the country.

So consider yourself lucky to try an authentic, premium Carménère made by a supremely talented winemaker.
