The palate is fruity with an attractive sweet sensation of vanilla and chocolate. It is tremendously smooth with good body and a persistent finish. Pairing suggestions include Italian dishes, lean red meats, white meats, and fowl.

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
