Ninquén

Die Brüder Eduardo und Hernán Gras gründeten das chilenische Weingut Ninquén 1998. Ninquén (nin-ken) bedeutet „Plateau auf einem Berg” im einheimischen Dialekt und beschreibt anschaulich die besondere Lage der Anbauflächen von Ninquén.

Das Weingut setzt stark darauf, die Natur nicht zu verändern, sondern Teil von ihr zu sein. Es ist kein einfacher Ansatz, den Wein in einer rauen Landschaft zu pflanzen und reifen zu lassen. Die Rebstöcke wurden in den bestehenden Hanglagen gepflanzt, ohne große Veränderungen vorzunehmen. Die Lagen sind nach Norden hin ausgerichtet. Ninquén setzt auf Geduld und den festen Glauben, dass das außergewöhnliche Terroir voll zur Geltung kommen muss. Im Herzen des Colchagua-Tals, Chiles bekanntestem Anbaugebiet, finden sich ideale Bedingungen, um große Weine zu kreieren.

305 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel entstehen aus handverlesenen Trauben mit Ninquén und Antu zwei besondere Weine. Ninquén, kraftvoll und elegant, reift für etwa 20 Monate in überwiegend neuen französischen Eichenfässern heran. Antu, was im lokalen Dialekt „Sonne” bedeutet, können Genießer als Shiraz oder einen Blend aus Cabernet Sauvignon und Carménère kosten. Beide Kreationen reifen etwa 16 Monate in französischer und amerikanischer Eiche.

Product recommendation

MontGras Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon
MontGras Intriga comes from the Alto Maipo, one of Chile's best-known Cabernet regions.The Maipo Valley is the cradle of Chilean quality viticulture. It is a day's journey southwest of Santiago - if you take the coach, as Alejandro Reyes did when he came to this valley in 1865. It didn't take the passionate winegrower long to realize that this corner of the world was a winemaker's paradise. He brought the finest European grape varieties to his new home and began to make wines that were better than anything else available in Chile to date. Alejandro quickly became famous, but his pioneering work was almost as quickly forgotten. Today, over 140 years later, Alejandro's vineyards have been rediscovered for what they always were: The foundation on which Chile's rise to the world wine elite stands.Viña MontGras, the new owners of the historic property, have reserved the vines of the old vineyards for an exceptional wine that defines the quintessence of the Maipo Valley: Intriga. The Cabernet Sauvignon, which is only available in strictly limited quantities, is a monumental red wine that has been aged for 15 months in American and French oak barrels.The first vintage of the new "Super Chilean" has already caused an international sensation. We have secured a contingent of the already sold-out second vintage and promise you an incredibly good wine for surprisingly little money!Our recommendation: With meat dishes and spicy cheese.

During the 18 months of barrel aging in new French oak barrels, the wine is racked 3 times to get rid of lees, and allow some oxygen to interfere in the evolution and maturation of this wine.When the final blend is made, if the wine is totally clear, and has no microbiological pressure, there is no need for filtration or fining….so the wine goes unfiltered to the bottling process.Decant for at least an hour for better enjoyment, allowing the wine to open up.
