Intro to Odfjell Orzada Carignan –
Odfjell Orzada Carignan is a complex organic wine with aromas of spicy mushrooms and oaky blackcurrant flavours on the long palate.
Full tasting note and wine making –
Odfjell Orzada Carignan is an elegant mature wine with complex aromas of leather, liquorice and mushrooms. Vanilla and blackcurrant on the palate with ripe tannins giving a long complex finish.
The grapes were hand-picked using 400kg bins and were not crushed on reception to the winery; the clusters were only destemmed. The whole berries had five to six days of cold maceration at 14°C prior to fermentation and 15 to 20 days of maceration at 25ºC after fermentation. Selected yeasts were used during the fermentation, which took place in small tanks from 10,000 to 15.000 litres. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in barrels. Odfjell’s stunning gravity flow winery minimizes the need to pump or agitate the juice throughout the winemaking process, gravity flow helps preserve the natural subtleties of the finished wine. It is aged in oak for 12 months: 21% in new French oak barrels, 10% in new American barrels and 69% in two year old barrels.
The Maule Valley is 195m above sea level and it has a mild climate with a dry season of five to six months duration. The annual rainfall is 700mm concentrated between October and April. Sandy clay loam soil with presence of granite along the profile.
The producer –
Over twenty five years ago, Dan Odfjell the Norwegian Armador (ship owner) fell in love with a small corner of the Maipo Valley. Serendipity would later show that he had found land in Chile’s premium red wine producing valley, where vitis vinifera has been cultivated for 400 years. While most of the other top producers in Chile are working with relatively young vines, Odfjell have forged an unique reputation based on rediscovering the forgotten wealth of Chile’s winemaking past. At the time this was considered a very eccentric move but now the interest in these old sites has grown exponentially, in no small part thanks to Odfjell. Crafting wines that fully maximise the great potential of the region, this year having joined the new association of Vignadores de Carignan, Odfjell are committed to sustainable agriculture and green winemaking practices, the vineyards are all cultivated organically and biodynamically and are working towards certification.
