Morandé Gran Reserva Carmenère 2009

15.00

Product Description

Winery: Viña Morandé, from Chile, was founded in 1996 with the aim of producing innovative wines of great quality. The fruit comes from San Bernardo, in the Maipo Valley, which has alluvial soils and a dry climate. It is a high-density vineyard, which makes it possible to achieve low production per plant with a high concentration of colour and flavours.

Grapes: Carmenère is a dark-skinned grape variety originally from the vineyards of Bordeaux, and which has found a particularly suitable home in Chile. A late-ripening variety, Carmenère needs high levels of sunshine and a warm summer to reach its potential, but in the right environment it can produce fine, deeply colored red wines, with the attractive meaty plumpness of Merlot and the gently herbaceous, cedary notes of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Aroma: fresh and intense fruit reminiscent of blackberry and blueberry, plus spicy black pepper, cinnamon and roasted coffee beans.
Flavor: fruity, complex and persistent black fruits, spices, chocolate, earthy flavors and truffles, velvety tannins and massive.

Color: intense, deep red, with violety overtones.

Pairing: grilled lean meat, ripe cheeses, pastas with tomato-based sauces, stews, sausages, Creamy lamb curry, Chargrilled sirloin steak, Barbequed lamb chops, dark chocolate.

Ageing: Harvesting is carried out manually, as is the selection of clusters and individual grapes. Vinification is traditional, with long macerations lasting 4 to 5 weeks. Once this process is complete, the wine is placed in French oak casks for malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing, which lasts 16 months.
