(2024) Morandé appears to be a wine company taking its environmental responsibilities seriously, this already certified sustainable, but they have announced a new initiative in partnership with a Swiss company that will capture 10% (2.6 tons) of historical CO₂ emissions and bury these safely underground, rather than emitting them as greenhouse gases. The wine comes from a single vineyard in the original cool-climate Casablanca Valley. It's a Sauvignon for fans of the distinctly elderflower and nettle style, passion fruit and lime added to the mix. In the mouth it has plenty of grapefruity cut that slices through the mid-palate richness, leaving this textured wine dry in the finish. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas.
(2022) Sauvignon from the cool and often foggy Casablanca Valley, made by Concha y Toro's head winemaker in stainless steel. Intense aroma, but not too herbaceous, not too many fireworks, then the palate shows a similar level of intensity, so much shimmering lime and lemon acidity to cut through the slightly riper fruit of the mid-palate.
(2019) From the original 'cool climate' valley of Chile, Casablanca, where morning mists and proximity to the ocean moderate temperatures, this is lightly-oaked, and spends four months on the lees, giving it breadth and texture and a certain creaminess. Aromatically there's a bit of almost Sauvignon-like passionfruit, peach and notes of more exotic tropical fruits. In the mouth that leesiness gives a mouth-filling texture, and again the fruit is ripe and exotic, with mango and papaya, as well as a grapefruity note that continues into the finish to add a welcome acid counterpoint. Quite long, and a lovely style really, blending ripeness and openness, with a stylish, dry finish. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas.
(2016) Bright green and youthful colour, fruit from Casablanca. 45% fermented in new and 1 year old barrels. Figgy and rich, with big tropical fruit notes but also an oiliness and richness of toast and buttered muffins. Leesy and rich, but the lemon and lime vibrancy and freshness comes through nicely.
