Country of origin:

Chile

Region:

Valle Central

Colmillo takes its name from the fang of the Andean fox, a creature known for its cunning presence and quiet power. This wine reflects that same untamed character, crafted in Chile's Valle Central with deep black cherry and bramble at its core, touches of dried fruit and coconut adding richness, and a warm toasty finish that lingers long after the first taste. A truly toothsome red shaped by the land it comes from.

"I thought this was a brilliant every occasion wine, with a lovely fruity Merlot core followed by a touch of spice and depth from two months ageing in a mix of French and American oak" - Sophie Lord, Buying Director.
