Viña Morandé S.A.

The New World was always a temptation, because it was unknown territory and because it offered the possibility of discovering new fruits and flavours to complement those already familiar in the Old World.

In the same way, the idea of producing high quality wines as a real proof of the potentials of the New World, was a similar temptation.
Noble, original wines, showing the inherent characteristics of these lands, enabling them to cross international frontiers and compete with excellent results in the demanding markets of the Old World.

This was how Nova Terrarum (New Land) was born, with a fine chance of becoming an excellent representative of the New World: wines of the new age, which excel and are known for their combination of freshness in style with the intensity of the vinestock, in harmony and complicity with the casks of American Oak in which they are aged.

This is an intense, violet wine with touches of blue, offering the nose a variety of elegant aromas including ripe red fruit, plums, berries, vanilla and candies. It is very rich in the mouth with a lot of fruit, spices, chocolate and creamy caramel.

The fruit of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape comes from the Santa Laura vineyard in the Maipo Valley, which is famous for its production of exceptionally good red wines. The alluvial soils and dry climate provide an ideal microclimate for growing red wines that are structured, long and persistent.

MORANDÉ TERRARUM CHARDONNAY

This is a yellow wine with touches of green. It offers tropical fruit and a predominant aroma of vanilla and toasted chestnuts. It is good bodied and balanced, with touches of melon, fruit and toasted oak.

The fruit from the Chardonnay vines comes from vineyards in the Maipo Valley, very close to the capital, Santiago. There is a predominance of gravel and laterite soils in most of the best vineyards, with some sandy loam soils in other areas. A wide variety of strategies are used in canopy management, all with the aim of maximizing the amount of sunlight in the area where the fruit is ripening.

The technique of choice consists in placing the shoots vertically, which improves their exposure to the sunshine, thus enhancing the development of flavour in the fruit. Irrigation is used wisely to maintain the balanced growth of the vine and obtain a constant rhythm of ripening. Ideal with strong-flavoured seafood and somewhat oily fish, such as a good smoked salmon, bonito or corvina, and white poultry meat.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from the El Ensueño vineyard, situated in the Casablanca Valley. The soils are sandy, with the influence of the sea and the cold climate, all of which allows suitable canopy management aimed at maximizing the amount of sunlight reaching the area where the grapes are ripening. This also accentuates the development of flavour in the fruit and the maturity of the tannins. Irrigation is used wisely to maintain the balance between the growth of the vine and the ripening of the fruit.

A very good accompaniment for seafood, sushi, antipasto and green salads.
