✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Morandé's Edición Limitada Black Chardonnay is a testament to the winery's pioneering exploration of Chile's southern frontiers. Sourced from the cool, wind-swept vineyards of the South (Sur) region, particularly the volcanic soils of the Malleco Valley, this wine redefines Chilean Chardonnay. Winemakers utilize innovative vessels such as concrete eggs and large, untoasted French oak foudres for fermentation and aging. This minimal-intervention approach, combined with native yeast fermentation and extended lees contact, preserves the pristine, high-acid profile of the grapes while imparting a complex, textured mouthfeel and a distinct smoky, flinty minerality that reflects its unique terroir.
