Discover the best wines made with Marselan as a single variety or as a blend of Maule Valley.
Supple, fruity reds with a deep robe and melted tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, violet, soft spices and garrigue notes. Good consistency and short-to-medium ageing capacity. Made in blends and as a single variety in Languedoc-Roussillon (IGP Pays d'Oc) and exported massively to China where it has become an emblematic quality signature. Also in Brazil and Argentina. A Cabernet Sauvignon × Grenache cross created in 1961 by Paul Truel in Montpellier.
Historic cradle of Chilean viticulture (16th century). Quality revival around old-vine Carignan (70+ years): dense, deep reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, spices and fine tannins, a unique expression. Sturdy Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Carménère (ripe pepper, black fruits), juicy Côt (Malbec), round Merlot. Some sharp Sauvignon Blanc.
