Undurraga TH Case

Old-vine Chilean carignan has a firm, linear and balanced palate of fresh black fruit and firm but not dry tannins. Made from unirrigated vineyards planted in the 1950s, this was matured for 16 months in wood. Ideal with barbecued meats such as steaks or lamb chops.

Made from a vineyard in Pirque, one of the best communes of the Alto Maipo in Chile, at 700m. It is planted on well-drained gravelly soils from the alluvial terrace of the Rio Clarillo, which cabernet likes. This fine-boned yet persistent wine offers cedary fruit and a long linear palate. Matured for 12 months in barrel to round out the tannins until smooth.

From a vineyard near La Vanilla 35km from the Chilean coast planted on clay soils over granite. Spicy and plummy fruit with a ripe yet fresh palate.
