Carménère, known for its deep color and rich flavors of black fruit, bell pepper, and spice, pairs exquisitely with red meat. Its firm tannins and moderate acidity complement the savory umami notes of grilled or roasted meats, enhancing flavors without overpowering. Regions like Chile, where Carménère thrives due to its warm climate, showcase this pairing beautifully, especially with lamb or grilled beef, making each bite more complex and enjoyable.
