Oveja Negra
Oveja Negra operates in Chile's Maule Valley, a region celebrated for its ability to coax depth and structure from Carménère and other Iberian varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on two flagship expressions: a Gran Reserva Carménère and a Single Vineyard Carmenère, both drawing from the valley's distinctive terroir. A Single Vineyard Carignan rounds out the core range, showcasing the rustic potential of this often-overlooked varietal in the hands of focused winemaking. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have both assessed the winery's output, reflecting its standing within critical circles. The Maule Valley's warm days and cool nights create the conditions for ripe fruit and balanced acidity—characteristics evident in how these wines have been evaluated by prestige critics.
