2022 Vinalia x Bisquertt Carignan

Carignan may be a lesser-known variety, but in the hands of Chile’s Bisquertt family, it becomes a bold expression of heritage and place. Since 1978, Bisquertt has worked hand-in-hand with small growers and some of Chile’s oldest vines to craft wines rooted in sustainability and regional character. Their 2022 Carignan from Maule Valley showcases fruit from vines over 100 years old, delivering a rustic, mouthwatering red full of personality. Bright notes of tart cranberry and red currant meet savory autumn spice, with a backbone of firm tannins and a whisper of forest floor. It’s a natural match for grilled lamb, mushroom stew, or lentil dishes rich in herbs and garlic.
