Carmenere

Certified Sustainable & Vegan

Axel wines have always been farmed sustainably. Our early motivation in using these green practices was easy: Sustainable grapes yield the cleanest and more pure varietals.

Notes from the Winemaker

This Carmenere has notes of delicate spice and chocolate with chewy tannins and a stylish finish.
