Vigno 2015
Maule
Carignan made from old vines in Maule that are a part of the revolutionary VIGNO movement.
VINEYARD
AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 57 YEARS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 400 FEET
VINIFICATION
This 100% Carignan Vigno wine is sourced from two blocks of the Crucecillas vineyard planted in 1958 that are vinified separately. That is followed by a winery selection and the best lots are aged in third and fourth use French neutral oak for 24 months.
TASTING NOTES
This is a very aromatic wine with distinctive nose of dark berries, intense flowers, and a little tar. The blackberry and spices come out when you taste it, along with a little pepperiness. It is earthy and medium-bodied, giving an Old World impression.
FOOD PAIRING
Perfect with the Chilean pastel de choclo (meat and corn casserole), grilled salmon, or some stews.

Facundo
Maule
Facundo is the wine that started Felipe's independent winemaking career. It blends old-vine Carignan with Bordeaux varieties from the heart of Chile (the Carignan and Cabernet Franc are from old vines in Maule Valley, the Cabernet Sauvignon is from Itata, and Petit Verdot is from Colchagua). The vineyards are naturally low yielding from granitic soils. The components are vinified, separated, aged for 28 months in third and fourth use French neutral oak, then filtered lightly before bottling.
