MAULE VALLEY

The Maule Valley wine region is located 260 km south of Santiago. In general terms, it is recognized as having some of the oldest vineyards in Chile. Its sub-humid Mediterranean climate and soils of alluvial and volcanic origin deliver juicy red fruit and a delicious rusticity to the wines.

All of the Guardián wines come from this valley known for its century-old vines and concentrated grapes. Mancura seeks to care for and develop this noble origin and offer consumers its heritage varieties through wines with tremendous quality and character.

HERITAGE VARIETIES

Guardián presents a portfolio of wines made with high-quality grapes. The heritage varieties include País, Carignan, and its new Cinsault.

PAIS

PAÍS

The Spanish Conquistadors introduced the País variety in Chile in the 16th century for use in making communion wine for religious purposes, and small producers in the dry coastal secano zone kept its spirit alive over time. Today, rediscovered and with a new-found appreciation, País represents a unique value in the world, expresses the enormous potential for making distinctive wines, and is one of the most exceptional varieties that Chile has to offer.

MANCURA GUARDIÁN PAÍS

A wine with a strong presence of red fruits recalling raspberries and sour cherries as well as light notes of earth and spices recalling cinnamon. Very fresh and fruity on the palate, with a smooth structure and medium body. A wine that invites you to drink more than a single glass.

CARIGNAN

CARIGNAN

Also known as Cariñena, this variety is a faithful representative of Chile’s viticultural heritage. Primarily planted in the south, it expresses the Maule Valley’s dry coastal secano zone very well. Carignan vines are head trained and dry farmed, and their wines are known for their high acidity, robust tannins, and deep color.

Its wines are tremendously fruity with intense aromas of red fruits and very fresh with medium acidity on the palate.
