Morande Adventure, Vigno Carignan

£16.68

wine_review_banner

Powerful and brooding, the intense red and black fruit flavours are complemented by elegant floral hints, a distinct mineral note and a toasty charcter from the oak. Bold, youthful tannins are lifted by a compelling streak of acidity.

Producer

This range reflects the exciting developments taking place in Chile’s wine scene today and draws on the extensive experience of winemakers from across Grupo Belén’s estates. The wines are made in extremely limited quantities from unconventional varieties such as Carignan, Cinsault and País and employ the latest winemaking innovations, such as concrete eggs and amphorae. These handmade wines are a perfect example of Morandé’s pioneering spirit.

Vineyard

Vigno is Chile’s first real appellation, formed by a small group of like minded pioneers looking to promote Chile’s old dry-farmed vineyards in the south. To get the Vigno label, the wine must comply with strict regulations around vineyard age, ageing of the wine and most significantly blend of grapes – the wine must contain at least sixty-five percent of Carignan. The vineyard, nestled into Maule’s dry coastal mountains, was planted in the 1950s with bush-trained Carignan on granitic-clay soils at a density of 5,000 plants per hectare. The grapes were hand harvested into ten kilogram boxes.

Winery

Following five days of cold maceration at 5oC, alcoholic fermentation took place in open top wooden tanks with daily punch downs and a total maceration period lasting thirty days. Following this, the wine was then aged in medium toast French and American oak barrels and foudres for twenty-four months.
