✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Morandé’s Vigno is a proud testament to Chile’s viticultural heritage and the renaissance of the Maule Valley's ancient vines. Born from the VIGNO (Vignadores de Carignan) association, this wine celebrates the rescue of historic, dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan vines planted in the Secano Interior following the devastating 1939 Chillán earthquake. These resilient, deep-rooted old vines thrive without irrigation, absorbing the pure essence of the granitic, clay-rich soils. Morandé crafts this wine using traditional, low-intervention methods, aging the wine in large oak foudres to preserve the grape's naturally high acidity, rustic charm, and intense dark fruit character. The result is a deeply expressive red that weaves a tale of survival, terroir, and Chilean winemaking pride.
🍾 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.
