Origin
This vineyard is located 20 km northeast of the town of Cauquenes, in a warm area of the Maule Valley. Its vines were planted in the 1950s, when Carignan vines first arrived in Chile, on very gentle, granitic, south-facing slopes. Pruned in the old Gobelet method, dry-farmed using traditional, cultural and natural techniques, this vineyard features unique ripening conditions in the area.
tasting notes:
A very fresh Carignan blend with strong finishing thrust and lingering spiciness. Enticingly intense fresh wild berry, red and blue cherry aromas, sweet herbal notes and hints of earthiness. Vigno Carignan has a refined and vibrant palate with concentrated red fruit flavours, structured ripe tannins and long persistence. Great aging potential for at least five to six years.
