Lozärn's Ivan S. Carménère 2022, a tribute to Ivan Sedgwick, unfolds the captivating history of this rare gem, once mistaken for Merlot until 1994. Proudly introducing South Africa's inaugural single Carménère in 2017, this wine boasts 14% alcohol content and impeccable balance.
Crafted with precision, including manual punch downs and 11 months in French barrels followed by 5 months of aging, it offers a delightful sensory experience.
With notes of cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa enticing the senses, complemented by red fruit and a vibrant color, this Carménère pairs perfectly with lean meats like duck or pork, accentuated by a delicate cherry reduction.
