More info

This high-density vineyard in Colchagua was planted in 2004, on clay and granitic soils of limited fertility. Ihe grapes were harvested in the third week of March.

The grapes were crushed and immediately pressed, then the juice settled until clear. Eighty percent was fermented in stainless steel at 14C, and fifteen percent fermented and aged three months in 300-litre fourth and fifth-fill French oak barrels. The lees were stirred every two weeks during this period.

Morandé

Morandé was founded in 1996 by Pablo Morandé, and found immediate recognition both domestically and abroad. Morandé are true pioneers – they were the first family to develop the Casablanca D.O., recognising the fantastic potential of this cool-climate wine region. They also led the way in reviving old viticultural regions such as Maule and Itata, working with old dry-farmed bush vines and unconventional varieties such as Carignan, País and Cinsault. All of the wines are produced with grapes from Morandé’s own vineyards. Their winemaking philosophy is guided by seeking the right terroir for each grape variety, and with significant vineyard holdings they are well placed to achieve this.
