An impressive wine is emerging from Chile’s Maule Valley: the Morandé Terrarium Semillon 2022. At 12.5% alcohol, this varietal showcases the rich history of Semillon in Chile, which once dominated the vineyards but has since faded in popularity.
The aroma presents a complex bouquet of honey, nuts, and stony peach alongside pear fruit notes. Its flavor profile is driven by dense citrus fruit complemented by subtle spicy elements on the finish, contributing to its waxy complexity. The wine demonstrates remarkable personality with layers of waxy and pithy notes, indicating excellent aging potential and balance. The overall impression rates a commendable 92 points.
