Maule Valley DO, Chile
Three of Chile's favorite grapes shape our oaky and spicy blend
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ligeroso
Red Blend
Our Ligeroso Red Blend is a delectable combination of three popular Chilean grapes—Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. Each sip perfectly captures the characteristics of each, with notes of red and dark fruit joined by rich oak and spice. This is an excellent selection if you're looking for an approachable yet complex red for any occasion. Chile's Maule Valley is an ideal place for grape growing. Located on the country's western coast, the valley benefits from the nearby Pacific Ocean and Maule River. Summer days here are warm and sunny, but the evenings are cool. This balance creates deliciously ripe fruit with just the right amount of acidity, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and smooth.

WINE REGION:
Maule Valley DO
When it comes to well-balanced reds of great value, Chile's Maule Valley is hard to beat. The southernmost part of Chile's Central Valley, Maule is a large sub-region with many microclimates and soil types. The Maule River and the nearby Pacific Ocean both greatly influence its climate. Maule was one of the first places in Chile planted with grapevines. It is famed today for its 100-year-old Carignan vines and the densely sumptuous wines they produce. More typical, however, are its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy aromatic Carménère and plush Merlot reds. For whites, check out Maule's cheery Sauvignon Blanc and rounded Chardonnay. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85 percent of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.

TASTING NOTES:
Chocolate
Cloves
Black Cherry
Our oaky and spicy red blend features outgoing aromas of cherry, baker's chocolate and vanilla on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with mild acidity and tannins, creating a smooth backdrop for notes of clove and baking spice with a touch of herbaceousness on the finish.
