Flat Iron - a quirky cheese slice NYC building and choice cut of steak, whatever you fancy really. But this Chilean Carménère is a great match for one. With its slightly wild flavours and mouth-watering intensity, it's a fine match for any cut of cow you fancy. But the dark fruit will match less carnivorous moments too. It's a lovely drop whichever way you swing.

"Carménère comes from the heart of Bordeaux, but its home is right here in Chile. It came with French émigrés before Phylloxera decimated French vineyards. It is one of our more interesting grapes now, making wines with lovely, wild, expressive notes." - Oscar Salas Steinlen, Winemaker.
