The 2012 Carignan Dueño de la Luna seems to be the top-end Cariñena here, a wine sourced from Loncomilla in the Maule Valley with 50% of the wine maturing in oak barrels for 20 months. It has a very Mediterranean nose with aromas of esparto grass and other aromatic herbs, and that lovely rusticity that usually takes the shape of tree bark, developing very fresh and showy notes of violets. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, clean, defined flavors and a very fresh finish. This is one of the more voluptuous Cariñena, more accessible. 3,600 bottles were filled in April 2014.
