PengWines Rockhopper 2009
Maipo Valley, Chile
The Rockhopper is a unique blend of robust Cabernet Sauvignon & Carménère is equally as exotic & promises to be different than any wine you've ever tasted. Part of Rockhopper's unique flavour can be attributed to the Carménère grapes, a variety long thought to be extinct, but recently rediscovered in Chile. Carménère provides spicy, earthy undertones & plays exquisitely off of the fruity texture of the Cabernet.

PengWines The King 2010

Our King is a vel-vety 50-50 blend of Malbec & Carménère, two bold varietals that when combined create a most elegant & smooth wine.
