Vitis Única from Morandé presents a portfolio of traditional varieties from outstanding origins made with non-conventional vinification techniques. Through the selection of specific sectors within each of its terroirs, this line offers wines with tremendous complexity, structure, and elegance.
The fruit of this Cabernet Sauvignon comes from selected plots of the San Bernardo vineyard in the Maipo Valley, one of the most renowned valleys in Chile due to the exceptional conditions for growing Bordeaux varieties, especially Cabernet Sauvignon. The great influence of the Andes Mountain, as well as its nutrient-poor alluvial soils, allow it to obtain great elegance and typicity in its wines.

DIFFERENTIATION
This Vitis Única Cabernet Sauvignon goes through a rather special vinification process for its type. Its must is cold macerated for 3 days before alcoholic fermentation, its aging is from 32 to 35 days in 80% French oak foudres and 40% in new barrels of the same wood, and its aging is around 18 months. All this means that it is a fresher wine with greater acidity in relation to its peers, however, it is outstanding in terms of price-quality.

Our winemaker Ricardo Baettig tells a little and tastes about the
Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
“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.”
Maipo is home to Chile’s greatest winemaking tradition. It has a temperate climate with a hot, dry summer. Frosts are rare in the valley, and the rainfall is concentrated between April and September.
Ricardo tells us about what fudres are and their contributions to wine.
