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.
