Red Wine

Morandé Vitis Única Pinot Noir 2022, Casablanca Valley D.O., Chile: A quintessential Pinot Noir from Casablanca, showcasing a balanced profile free of overly sweet or tart nuances. Aromas of earthy red fruits and damp woodland set the tone. Medium-weight on the palate, this offers lively acidity and structured velvety tannins. The finish is impressively lengthy, refreshing, and full of vitality. Exceptionally crafted, this wine is enjoyable now but will continue to develop beautifully until 2029. Savour it with herb-roasted duck or grilled lamb chops. Pinot Noir food pairings: roasted duck, roasted turkey, grilled lamb.
