Why this wine
Mourvedre, Carignan and Grenache — a southern French formula almost nobody attempts in Chile, grown near the coast where it stays fresh. Peppery and medium-bodied. Genuinely off the beaten track for the money.

Description
How it tastes
Rounded and expressive, this coastal Chilean red blend bursts with forest fruits, cherry, and mulberry, layered with vanilla, mint, and tobacco on a silky, lingering finish. Enticing aromas of cherry, raspberry, and mulberry intertwined with forest floor, vanilla, and a subtle herbal lift from natural fermentation. Supple and fruit-forward, revealing flavours of ripe red berries, tobacco, and a touch of spice. The fine tannin structure lends balance and depth, leading to a persistent, fresh finish with a gentle coastal salinity. Contains sulphites.
