✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Morandé’s Brut K.O. is a vibrant testament to Chile's viticultural heritage, celebrating the revival of the historic País grape. Originally introduced by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century, País was long overlooked for premium wines until pioneering producers began unlocking its potential for sparkling wine. Sourced from ancient, dry-farmed bush vines in the Secano Interior of the Maule Valley, this cuvée pays homage to the resilience of these centenarian vineyards. The name 'K.O.' playfully nods to its punchy, knockout freshness and unconventional character. Crafted to preserve the grape's rustic charm and bright fruit profile, this sparkling wine delivers a lively palate of wild red berries, citrus zest, and a crisp, refreshing finish.
