Vitis Única
Pure essence of terroir
Morandé Vitis Única represents the meeting point between Chile's winemaking heritage and our constant drive to innovate.
Its name evokes a direct connection with vitis vinifera, the mother plant of wine, and the decision to elevate each grape variety to its maximum expression in a unique and carefully chosen terroir. Each wine is born from specific sectors within their respective valleys, using unconventional winemaking techniques that give rise to a diverse, complex collection with its own identity.
With a single vineyard approach and a 100% terroir-oriented interpretation, Vitis Única works specific plots where the origin defines the character of the wine. Aging in large oak barrels allows for slow and controlled evolution, respecting the expression of the place, the natural texture, and the varietal purity, without imposing the wood on the wine.
This line offers an original interpretation of traditional varieties—such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Chardonnay—through precise vinification and distinct aging processes that highlight the purity, varietal character, and sophistication of each origin.
