Producer Profile

Viña Indómita occupies a truly spectacular location, between Santiago and Valparaíso in the heart of Casablanca, with an imposing house and a hillside sign that wouldn’t look out of place in Hollywood.

Yet within this setting is a dynamic winemaking team and one of the most exciting winemaking projects in Chile. With vineyards the length of Chile, from Casablanca to Maipo, as well as Maule and Itata, they take full advantage of the region’s climatic differences, focusing on Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the cooler Casablanca Valley, Carignan in the Maule Valley, Pais in the Itata Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère in the warmer Maipo region. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are taken seriously, with measures taken to minimise waste water and energy consumption alongside ventures to create local employment across both winemaking and wine tourism.

Viticulture

From selected vineyard sites across Chile’s Central Valley. The cooling influences of the Andes and the Humboldt current together with the diurnal temperature difference here allows for slow ripening so that the grapes develop maximum flavour.

Winemaking

Cold maceration at 10°C for 4 days. Classic alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 28-30°C to preserve aromas and flavour.

Tasting Note

This easy-drinking Merlot comes from Chile’s renowned Valle Central Region, where long hot days are followed by cool nights. This temperature difference ensures the grapes ripen slowly, so they develop maximum flavour. This is simply outstanding wine for the money, soft super-juicy ripe plummy fruit and a long full-flavoured finish.

Food matching
