Valdivieso 2005 Eclat Red (Maule Valley)

Country: Chile / Eclat
Variety: Red Blend Maule Valley
Winery: Valdivieso /

Good for Valdivieso that they are willing to experiment with a Mourvèdre-led blend that also contains Carignan and Syrah. This is racy and a bit tangy, with plenty of old-vines acidity making the wine a bit jumpy and scouring. Probably best with food; it’s a bit astringent on its own.
