Morande, Vigno, Old Vine Carignan – 2021

A remarkable tribute to Chile’s historic vineyards, Morandé VIGNO Old Vine Carignan 2021 is crafted from carefully tended old vines that produce grapes of exceptional concentration and character. As part of the prestigious VIGNO designation, this premium wine reflects the authenticity of old-vine Carignan, showcasing remarkable depth, vibrant acidity, and outstanding complexity while honoring generations of traditional Chilean winemaking.

Deep ruby red in color with brilliant garnet hues, it opens with captivating aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, plum, and wild raspberry, elegantly layered with notes of violet, dried herbs, black pepper, earthy spice, and subtle hints of cocoa and cedar. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a beautifully textured mouthfeel, revealing vibrant flavors of dark berries, red plum, cranberry, and sweet baking spices. Firm yet polished tannins, lively natural acidity, and restrained oak maturation create exceptional balance, while the old vines contribute remarkable concentration, structure, and finesse.

The finish is long, fresh, and elegantly persistent, leaving lingering notes of ripe berries, warm spice, delicate herbal nuances, and refined minerality that beautifully express the character of this exceptional old-vine Carignan.
