The Carmenere grape is a wine grape variety originally planted in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France; where it was used to produce deep red wines and occasionally used for blending purposes in the same manner as Petit Verdot.

 

Now rarely found in France, the world's largest area planted with this variety is in Chile in South America, with more than 8,800 hectares (2009) cultivated in the Central Valley.

 

Chile produces the vast majority of Carménère wines available today, and as the Chilean wine industry grows, more experimentation is being carried out on Carménère's potential as a blending grape, especially with Cabernet Sauvignon.
