✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate vineyards of the Aconcagua region, specifically the pioneering Casablanca Valley, Morandé's Extra Brut is a testament to the visionary spirit of founder Pablo Morandé. In the early 1980s, Morandé defied conventional wisdom by planting vines in this coastal valley, forever changing the landscape of Chilean viticulture. Benefiting from the cooling influence of the Humboldt Current and morning fogs rolling in from the Pacific Ocean, the grapes ripen slowly, retaining the vibrant acidity essential for premium sparkling wine. This Extra Brut style highlights the pristine purity of the coastal terroir, combining mineral tension with delicate fruit notes and a refined, persistent effervescence that reflects the estate's mastery of cool-climate winemaking.
