A volcanic influence
This wine is made from 100% Carmenere grapes aged in French and American oak barrels for 8 month. The Colchagua Valley, where the grapes are grown, is carved out naturally by the Tinguiririca River, which flows down from the Andes Mountains from its headwaters at the base of the Tinguiririca Volcano and runs 100 km before emptying into Rapel Lake.
This wine is of a purple red colour with bluish hues. A fresh, intense wine, with dark fruits like plum and cherry combined with notes of mocha and spices on the nose. In the mouth the tannins are round with a final touch of chocolate. It is a balanced wine, easy to drink.
The soil of this region gives a special minerality thanks to the nature of the water, coming straight from the base of a volcano. The philosophy of Terranoble Winery is to produce elegant, noble and pleasant wines, selecting the best attributes of each grape variety.
Certainly a wine you should try and enjoy!

Valle de Colchagua – Colchagua Valley
The Colchagua Valley is a fantastic Wine Region in Chile, protected by mountains on all sides. This region is one of South America’s most promising wine regions nowadays. It forms the south-western half of the larger Rapel Valley region; to the north and east of it lies the less famous but equally promising Cachapoal Valley. Some of Chile’s finest red wines are made in the valley, mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Shiraz.
The Tinguiririca River is a key feature in Colchagua Valley. It flows along the northern edge of the region at the base of the Tinguiririca Volcano and through the town of Santa Cruz, around which many wineries are based. The river brings clear melt-water down from the Andean peaks to the valleys and vineyards below, transporting silts and clays with it and creating ideal soils and terrains for viticulture.
Colchagua Valley is a fairly new wine-producing region in Chile when compared with the historical Maipo Valley. Most of the region’s modern winemaking facilities have been constructed with wine tourism in mind, and as a result, Colchagua Valley is enjoying a growing reputation as Chile’s ‘Napa Valley’.
