The distinguished British critic Jancis Robinson named Massal 1945 Carmenère 2015 as her “wine of the week”, highlighting the seductive red fruit and the integrity of our emblematic Almahue strain. In her tasting, she emphasized the unusual note of dried tomato, an identifying mark of Carmenère, accompanied by a freshness and gentle tannins that balance the natural sweetness of the harvest. Robinson appreciated the depth provided by the vines planted in 1945 and predicted at least four additional years of evolution for the wine. Her recognition reaffirms Clos de Luz's ability to express elegance and longevity without excessive intervention.
