Longavi Carignan Soberano 2020

$4799

From Carignan vines planted in 1960, the Soberano Carignan has an intense, deep purple color, the nose presents graphite, berries, and flowers, while on the palate it opens up with more present earth, black and red fruit, and a long finish.

"The 2020 Carignan Soberano from Maule was fermented as 30% whole bunches and aged for one year in foudres. Bright purple in the glass. The aromatic profile features candy-like notes against a sweet and sour cherry backdrop. Juicy and refreshing in the mouth, the finely grained tannins make for a nimble palate. A lingering, fruity red that presents a new style for Carignan in Chile." —Vinous

"The 2020 Soberano was produced with Cariñena from Cauquenes in Maule. It fermented with 30% full clusters and matured in foudre for 18 months. It's fruit-driven with notes of bright red berries and flowers, with very good freshness and a medium body with 13% alcohol and great balance. It has austerity and seriousness but with terrific balance and definition. It's spectacularly fresh and fine-boned for a year like 2020. 1,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021."

More about Longavi

With its long chain of mountains at a seemingly endless range of latitudes, it is inevitable that somewhere among them it is possible to make truly great wines in Chile. We think we have found them.

Not us, so much, as partners Julio Bouchon and David Nieuwoudt. Aside from the “Julio”, it must be said that these names do not sound very Chilean. The actual origins of their names may speak to why the wines of their brainchild, Langavi, are so good.

Julio Bouchon has a French name because his ancestor was one of the many French pioneers who came to Chile in the 19th century to exploit the country’s great wine potential. This is a family with roots as deep as many great wine-making families of the Old World.

And Nieuwoudt is from South Africa. There, he made some of that country’s greatest wines. Now he can do the same for Chile.

The duo work in Maule, the coldest wine region of Chile because it is the most southerly (confusing, right?). The area benefits from the incredible mix of rocks and minerals transported by rivers flowing down from the Andes. They have some very old vines here, including Carignan planted in 1960, and, perhaps most incredibly, a Chenin Blanc vineyard planted in 1940!
