✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by Viña Morandé, a pioneer in Chilean cool-climate viticulture, this Pinot Noir Rosé is a vibrant expression of the coastal-influenced terroirs within the greater Aconcagua region. Founder Pablo Morandé famously defied conventional wisdom in the 1980s by planting vines in valleys open to the cold Humboldt Current of the Pacific Ocean. This rosé benefits immensely from that legacy; the morning fogs and cooling breezes slow the ripening of the delicate Pinot Noir grapes, preserving their bright natural acidity and high-toned red fruit aromatics. The wine is typically produced with minimal skin contact to achieve a pale, elegant salmon-pink hue, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to safeguard its crisp, fruit-forward, and mineral-driven character.

Operating across premier terroirs spanning the Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, and Maule valleys, the estate blends traditional craftsmanship with relentless innovation, utilizing unconventional aging vessels such as concrete eggs, ceramic amphorae, and large French oak foudres. The winery produces a comprehensive spectrum of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines, highlighted by the benchmark Gran Reserva series, terroir-driven Terrarum range, and the flagship Bordeaux-style blend, House of Morandé. Guided by a philosophy of authentic terroir expression and stylistic daring, Morandé consistently showcases the dynamic potential and regional diversity of contemporary Chilean viticulture.
