Sentido Contrario
Maule Valley DO, Chile
Oak and spice are the front runners of our bold new blend
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Sentido Contrario
Red Blend
Uncork something exciting from our new brand. Our juicy Red Blend offers enticing oaky and spicy characteristics complemented by ripe dark fruit. Sentido Contrario translates to "opposite direction." This brand draws inspiration from Chilean horseracing, where riders race around the track clockwise, the reverse direction than they do in Europe. This brand plays into the fact that much of Chile's winemaking culture is inspired by European traditions (mainly French), but they have made a name for themselves through their unique wine styles. Chile's Maule Valley is one of the country's oldest and most well-known regions. The climate here is ideally suited to a variety of red grapes, each bringing their distinct flare to the blend. Toasty oak-influence adds a satisfying layer of complexity, resulting in a delectable red wine with a unique story—both of which you'll be eager to share. S ...

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.
