Carménère Night Jamaica

Carménère Night - for the second year running, the Chilean Embassy to Jamaica, in association with Christopher & Kerri-Anne Reckord, organized this special evening to showcase the Carménère grape to members of the Diplomatic Community in Jamaica as well as wine lovers and other specially invited guests.

The Carménère grape was originally
planted in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France, where it was used to produce deep red wines and occasionally used for blending purposes. It is almost impossible to find Carménère wines in France today, as a Phylloxera plague in 1867 nearly destroyed all the vineyards of Europe.This varietal is now mainly found in Chile which produces  the majority of Carménère wines available today.
