Pablo Morandé, previously the winemaker for Concha y Toro, had already made such wines as Don Melchor, Chile’s first icon wine, before he decided to create his own eponymous label Morandé in 1996. It was no surprise that within a short period of time this new venture had found recognition both domestically and internationally with the Wine Enthusiast magazine naming Morandé as "Winery of the Year" in 1999 and Wine & Spirits Magazine naming them "Vineyard of the Year" in 2002. Pablo was also named "Best Winemaker of the Year" twice in three years. The Morandé Adventure range of wines are handmade in extremely limited quantities from unconventional grape varieties such as Carignan, Cinsault and País and employ the latest winemaking innovations, such as concrete eggs and amphorae. VIGNO, with the "G" from Carignan is a collaborative project in Chile’s Maule Valley that rescues the tradition of the regions old dry-farmed Carignan vines. Morandé's VIGNO is an outstanding wine blended from Carignan and Syrah both from the same sixty year old vineyard. The Carignan dominates the wine's composition with its magnificent contribution of sweet and sour cherries, violets, intense tannins and refreshing acidity. The Syrah adds its black forest fruits, together with its subtle smoked aromas, spiced with vanilla and dark chocolate.
