At Viña Morandé, innovation is fueled by two key driving forces: curiosity and quality. Bestiario was born out of these principles, a wine crafted to challenge traditional standards and offer a completely new experience. This white wine is made as if it were a red, capturing a new gustatory dimension. The approach is innovative, using unconventional varieties in Chile, such as Marsanne, Roussanne, and a touch of Viognier.

Bestiario is inspired by orange wines—white wines that go through a process similar to reds, where the grape skins remain in extended contact with the juice during vinification. This process lends a unique aromatic and flavor profile with added structure and complexity.

To achieve the desired profile, we carefully selected the grapes. Bestiario’s foundation is Marsanne and Roussanne, varieties from the Rhône in France, cultivated in Melozal in the Maule Valley. Here, red clay soils of granitic origin allow for a high concentration of aromas and tannins. We then add a touch of Viognier, sourced from Lo Ovalle in Casablanca, a valley where the coastal freshness contributes vibrancy and structure to the wine.

The result is a wine with an intense, brilliant yellow color, aromas reminiscent of apple, white flowers, and a hint of lime. On the palate, Bestiario is fresh, juicy, and elegant, with remarkable persistence that makes it memorable.

Bestiario embodies our exploratory spirit at Viña Morandé. It’s not a common wine, and it’s hard to compare it with other Chilean wines, something we take pride in. We’re excited to see how well it’s being received, especially by those eager to discover new experiences and break from the conventional. With Bestiario, we offer not only a wine but an invitation to an adventure that celebrates the diversity of Chile’s terroirs and varieties.

At Viña Morandé, exploration and creativity continue to inspire us. Bestiario is just one of many oenological adventures we look forward to sharing, reflecting our commitment to authenticity and quality.
