✨ Technical Specifications
Morandé's Tirazis is a profound tribute to the ancient roots of Syrah, drawing its name from 'Tirazis', the historic Persian name for Shiraz, believed by legend to be the ancestral birthplace of the grape. Grown in the cool-climate conditions of the Casablanca Valley within the greater Aconcagua region, this wine benefits from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and morning fogs. This unique terroir slows the ripening process, allowing the grapes to develop intense aromatic complexity, striking acidity, and elegant, fine-grained tannins. Morandé crafts this wine using traditional and innovative techniques, often utilizing concrete eggs and oak foudres to preserve the vibrant, peppery, and dark-fruit character of the cool-climate Syrah without overpowering it with oak.
🍾 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.
