BROWSING ONLY
Carignan might not be the first grape you think of when you think of Chile, but the Alcance Vigno, made primarily from this grape, will make you think, why not? This wine is a true expression of Carignan, with deep black fruit, firm tannins and juicy acidity. This wine is something special and boasts superb aging potential.

This red wine expresses a Mediterranean character with a nose of dry wild flowers, violets and boysenberries. Very expressive tannins with bright acidity make this wine truly distinguishable.

About Alcance

Located in Chile's Maule Valley, Alcance is built around two estate vineyards that produce wines with the depth, character and complexity of many of the world’s finest. With soils ranging from red granitic of the southern coastal mountain range to the gravel rocky, loamy soil on the bench of the Lircay river in the foothills of the Andes, Alcance’s goal is to craft wines that truly reflect a unique terroir and sense of place. The winery produces a flagship Bordeaux-style blend, Bravura, and five single-varietal wines, including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carménère, and old vine Carignan.
