The palate is balanced and full-bodied with abundant fruit notes, excellent balance, rich acidity, and a slight sweetness. Ideal to accompany shellfish and fish such as salmon, albacore, and sea bass as well as white-meat poultry.

Maule Valley

“Winemaking is a trade, an interpretation of the grapes as well as the place they are grown. It requires knowledge, sensitivity, hard work, and patience to finally enjoy a product that dates to the origins of human culture. It is a very rewarding endeavor.”

Ricardo Baettig – Viña Morandé Enological Director

Maule Valley

Maule is one of Chile’s most extensive valleys and has the largest production of wine grapes, but the Secano Interior sector merits special note for the large number of old País and Carignan vineyards still managed using the same techniques inherited from the Spanish Conquistadors—head-trained, low density, and dry farmed to adapt to this area with hot, dry summers and granitic, red clay soils.
