Morande Pionero Chardonnay Reserva, Chile

Morande was founded in 1996 by Pablo Morande, and found immediate recognition both domestically and abroad. Morande are true pioneers âs they were the first family to develop the Casablanca D.O., recognising the fantastic potential of this cool-climate wine region.

They also led the way in reviving old viticultural regions such as Maule and Itata, working with old dry-farmed bush vines and unconventional varieties such as Carignan, and Cinsault. All of the wines are produced with grapes from Morande’s own vineyards. Their winemaking philosophy is guided by seeking the right terroir for each grape variety, and with significant vineyard holdings they are well placed to achieve this.
