The Story
From the Maule Valley wine region, Undurraga 2019 is produced from dry-farmed, old vines (70-plus years of age) Carignan with a smattering of Cinsault sourced from the Loncomilla zone.
A very fresh Carignan blend with strong finishing thrust and lingering spiciness. Enticingly intense fresh wild berry, red and blue cherry aromas, sweet herbal notes and hints of earthiness. Vigno Carignan has a refined and vibrant palate with concentrated red fruit flavours, structured ripe tannins and long persistence. Great aging potential for at least five to six years.
95 Points -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There is great elegance and character in the 2019 Vigno—earthy and rustic but also floral and nuanced. The Cariñena is complemented by some 10% Cinsault, and the wine comes through as ripe but fresh and vibrant, powerful an harmonious. There is a dry, stony and granite-driven feeling on the palate that I like very much. It has to be one of the finest Vignos from Undurraga. 6,600 bottles were filled in November 2020 after spending 16 months in 5,000-liter oak foudre.
