✨ Technical Specifications
The Edicion Limitada Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon from Vina Morande represents the winery's spirit of innovation and freedom, crafted as a limited-release blend that showcases the synergy between two powerhouse red varieties in Chile's Central Valley. Morande, famed for pioneering new viticultural frontiers in Chile, uses this range to push boundaries. This blend combines the plush, dark-fruited, and spicy character of Syrah with the structural integrity, refined tannins, and blackcurrant notes of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from carefully selected vineyard blocks, the grapes undergo meticulous fermentation and are typically aged in French oak foudres and barrels. This traditional yet forward-thinking maturation process allows the wine to develop a complex profile of ripe black fruits, cracked black pepper, chocolate, and subtle smoky undertones, reflecting the diverse soils and sunny climate of the region.
🍾 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.
