✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Viña Morandé's exploration of Pinot Noir in the cool-climate zones of the Aconcagua region, particularly the Casablanca Valley, represents a landmark chapter in Chilean viticulture. Founder Pablo Morandé famously defied conventional wisdom in the late 1980s by planting vines in these chilly, ocean-influenced valleys, which were previously deemed too cold for grape growing. This Pinot Noir showcases the triumph of that vision. Grown on ancient granitic soils layered with clay, the vines benefit from morning fogs and cooling breezes blowing off the Pacific Ocean, slowing ripening and preserving the grape's delicate aromatics and bright acidity. In the cellar, Morandé combines traditional open-top fermentation with modern minimal-intervention techniques, often utilizing large neutral oak foudres or concrete eggs to respect the purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is characterized by its bright red cherry and raspberry notes, complex undertones of damp earth and wild herbs, and a silky, elegant structure that redefines South American Pinot Noir.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Viña Morandé blev grundlagt i 1996 af den visionære vinmager Pablo Morandé, som er almindeligt anerkendt for sin pionerindsats inden for vindyrkning i det kølige klima i Casablanca Valley. I dag rangerer vinhuset blandt Chiles mest innovative og respekterede producenter. Med vinmarker i førsteklasses terroirs på tværs af Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal og Maule forener huset klassisk håndværk med en utrættelig innovationslyst. I kælderen eksperimenteres der flittigt med utraditionelle modningsbeholdere såsom betonæg, keramiske amforaer og store franske egetræs-foudres. Morandé fremstiller en alsidig portefølje af rød-, hvid-, rosé- og mousserende vine, hvor især den toneangivende Gran Reserva-serie, den terroir-drevne Terrarum-linje og flagskibet House of Morandé – et klassisk blend i Bordeaux-stil – udmærker sig. Drevet af en filosofi om autentisk terroirudtryk og stilistisk vovemod demonstrerer Morandé gang på gang det dynamiske potentiale og den regionale mangfoldighed i moderne chilensk vinavl.
