Gran Reserva

2009 Maipo Valley Carmenere

The Morande Gran Reserva Carménère from the 2009 vintage is a beautifully expressive red wine hailing from the renowned Maipo Valley. This wine showcases a full-bodied profile, where rich flavors of dark fruit, particularly blackcurrant and blackberry, harmoniously intertwine with hints of spice and subtle earthy undertones. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the overall freshness and vibrancy of the wine. Tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure and depth while ensuring a smooth mouthfeel. This exemplary Carménère is dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of hearty dishes, especially grilled meats and savory stews. Rich and well-balanced, the Morande Gran Reserva is a true testament to the exceptional terroir of the Maipo Valley.

In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
