✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Morandé's Edición Limitada Black Pinot Noir is a testament to the winery's pioneering exploration of Chile's extreme cool-climate frontiers. Sourced from the southern reaches of Chile, where the glacial influence of the Andes meets the chilly breezes of the Pacific, this wine captures the vibrant tension of its terroir. The vineyards are planted on ancient volcanic soils, which impart a distinct mineral complexity and elegant structure to the grape. In the cellar, the winemaking team employs traditional, low-intervention techniques, including fermentation in open-top oak vats and aging in seasoned French oak foudres. This careful craftsmanship preserves the delicate, crunchy red-fruit character, wild herb notes, and earthy undertones that define southern Chilean Pinot Noir, resulting in a wine of remarkable tension, depth, and poise.
🍾 About the Producer
Viña Morandé was founded in 1996 by visionary winemaker Pablo Morandé, widely celebrated as the viticultural pioneer who introduced commercial vine plantings to the cool, maritime-influenced Casablanca Valley. Now operating under the Morandé Wine Group umbrella with historical headquarters and cellars centered in Pelequén, the estate farms extensively across prime Chilean macro-terroirs ranging from coastal Casablanca and Limarí to the granitic dry-farmed Secano Interior of Maule and Itata. Under the cellar direction of Ricardo Baettig alongside Pablo Morandé, the winery is renowned for innovative technical methods, including early adoption of high-density plantings, concrete eggs, and traditional untoasted foudres. Across whites and sparkling expressions, the house crafts crisp coastal whites and classical cuvées alongside boundary-pushing benchmark bottlings such as Edición Limitada Black Chardonnay, Bestiario, and the noble rot dessert wine Edición Limitada Golden Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, marrying varietal freshness with textural complexity.
